Back to school time!

It was back to school time today! I can't say they were BOTH excited - but Alyson definitely was! She has been counting down for the last week. They are both very happy with their teachers and were so thrilled to meet them at Open House this past Thursday. I am not the mom of one Sassy Second Grader and a Fabulous Fourth Grader (although the said Fourth Grader is almost too cool for pictures and for his mom to walk him to class on the first day!)
























Stevie is especially happy with his teacher this year as she was actually his teacher's assistant when he was in kindergarten! They were both pretty happy to see each other at Open House as well -- plus there is another friend of Stevie's from that same kindergarten class in his room this year too. This is probably the most excited Stevie has been about school starting! Add to that the fact that he will have AGP Math AND Science (both his favorite subjects) and I am pretty sure that is as close to heaven in school as you can get! LOL!
It was nice for me to be able to walk them in on their first day - even though I had to beg that Fabulous Fourth-Grader just a little to let me! ;) And they both had great days...and I think what really made the icing on the cake is that school is canceled for tomorrow! We are on heightened alert with this tropical storm (hurricane, maybe?!) coming through sometime tomorrow.

We are all looking forward to a GREAT school year...despite the new "uniform" policy (bleck!)

Don't they look cute? Wait until MY first day of school photos tomorrow. I have something up my sleeve!

Still have a couple more days before the first day for us. However, just wait until you break the news to that freshman that you are still taking that first day of school picture and yes it will be in front of the school around 6:20 am. She has early bird. Not thrilled when I broke the news to her tonight.
