09.04.2012 1st Day of School!

Today was the 1st day of school for both the kiddos.  We did a "practice run" yesterday with getting to bed on time, waking up on time, and our drive to the school(s). We did great.  We did great this morning too! 

It's AMAZING how fast the kids grow and change from year to year.

Without further a do.....................

Timothy starts his first day of THIRD GRADE (yes i did say 3rd grade!) today at the local primary school. He is excited for school to start, though honestly, not so much his teacher. She's the "scary" or "mean" one if you are a little.  Really she is just one of the more strict teachers that don't put up with the kids BS I suppose.

He got his hair cut a week ago. Yes, he is sporting a MOHAWK. Ugh.  But i feel it was important to let him express his individuality and it was what he wanted. Momma won the battle and did not allow him to spike it up for the 1st day...so he looks like an 8yr old with a bad comb over. LOL



 But a cute guy eh?  Look at that adorable grown up face. Oh and the eyes - kill me now.

They both chose the 1 strap back packs this year. Um I think Bubba needs to adjust his. Pretty sure all that weight is not supposed to be balanced on his BUTT.

 

 

 Excuse the cat (Cowboy) both cats were in just about every shot until I had to shoo them away from the kids to grab a picture.

 

Danielle's dreams came true when we put her back in the Private Christian School this year. She is going to be a big FIFTH GRADER. 1 1/2 years at the local primary did nothing for her.

She picked out the cutest little jeans last night and chose this top because (....sigh....) it matched her new shoes. LOVE THAT GIRL!

 

She was raring to go about 10 minutes before her brother...even took her stuff out to the car and all!

 I am so excited for these two!  They are growing fast. *sniff* *sniff*  They make their momma proud!  Well it's go time....gotta go pick them up now.

Wow.. the day flew. Though I admit i took a 2hr nap..... hehehehe.
