School!

I can't believe that another school year has started! I had mixed emotions about them starting. In one way, I felt like they (and me!) were ready to go back, but another way I was so sad about them being another year older in school. Claire was starting first grade, and that's a big life event! She was so excited, so it was hard to be too sad. Lilly was really nervous, but she always is nervous to start and then does amazing after a few days. The night before school started, they had back to school night. It was a great way for them to meet their teachers and see their classrooms. 

The morning of school!! I forgot their signs. Oh well. As you can tell by Claire's smile, she was pretty jazzed!

I really really like our principal. He really tries to make school a great experience for the kids. This year, they had the kids line up in front of their doors, then when the bell rang, they walked the kids around to the front of the school where they had a "red carpet" rolled out and the mascot to welcome them. The kids thought that was pretty cool...as did the parents! 

Perks of working in the office....I have my littles come in and say hi to me! Lilly was out at recess, and wanted to come in and say hi to me. It made my day! I am so so so grateful for my new job. I absolutely love it. It has been a change, and I am still trying to get into a good flow at home, but I wouldn't have it any other way! I am grateful I have Monday's off, because that allows me to get my house and everything else organized for the coming week. If I do that, then my week flows much better! I work with great people, and I am so happy to be where my girls are!
