First day of School

Back to school came really fast this year. Where did our summer go? Oh well, here we go again!

Alissa is in 1st grade this year
Katelin is in 4th
And Madi started Middle School as a 6th grader. She looks all grown up in her shaved legs and mascara. She was the saddest one for me to let go this year.

All together now! Zack jumped in just as I took the picture. He was excited to start pre-school, but I ended up not being able to get him in. Long story, but they changed the requirements with all this political school district stuff and lay-offs and hoopla, and they ended up not letting him in because the waiting list was too long and it wasnt his "home school". He even had his own Phineas and Ferb backpack ready to go (in the background)! Guess Ill be his pre-school teacher this year. Wish me luck!
Brylee wanted her picture taken too. I didnt have time to get her hair fixed after getting the others ready, so here she is with her morning look! She really wanted to go to school with her sisters. She was wearing her little backpack and thought she was all ready to go. I still have to go through the same thing every morning with her. It goes like:
Brylee "I want to go to school too!"
Me "But your not big enough yet"
Brylee "I AM big...see! I am big now!"
Me "Yes, but you have to be 5"
Brylee "I AM 5!"
Me"But you cant go, I will miss you!"
Brylee" But I WANT to go!"....
And it goes on and on, until I can find some way to distract her. If I drive Madi to school, then she wants to have her back pack on too, and wants to get out of the car and go with her. Wonder when that will wear off!
Bye!
Off to start new school year adventures!

They look great and I feel for Brylee! Chloe has been wearing a backpack every morning for years and finally gets to go somewhere. And poor Zack! What a huge bummer! I will send you info on our preschool.

They look happy to be back to school. They must have good teachers :).. I am a big fan of pre-school so sorry that district didn't let Zack in this year. And good luck with being pre-school teacher. You'll enjoy and love it!!:)
