The First Day of School

The first day of school. What can I say, summer is over and school has once again taken my little girls away from me to grow up. I really hate being away from them so much in the day but I know it is what is best for my kids.

So, Tressa stared second grade today and is feeling extra big this year because Josie is at her school now as well.

Which of course means that Josie is in Kindergarten and she couldn't be happier. She gets to have Ms. Jones who was Tressa's teacher last year so she already knows her which is a plus.

Aspen is on her own for the first time in her life and had a lot of fun doing it, but we did go to the park with her friend so not much of challenge there.

Josie's first day of school-at 8:00 AM

Got up at 6:30, got dressed, did hair, ate breakfast, and was out the door by 7:30

Hung up her backpack and said good bye to mom. Spent all day learning!


Walked in the line at the end of the day!


"Mom guess what I learned? R...E....D....spells......RED!"


Then she introduced me to her new friend Page and insisted that I take a picture of her in her backpack. All said and done the first day of school went as well as could be and not a single tear was shed.
