I just realized that I never posted our "first day of school" pictures! Eeeek! Well, better late than never!
I can't believe I now have half of my children in school all day! Brooklyn was very excited to be a kindergartner and she was more than ready for it. We have all day kindergarten so I was a little nervous about her being gone all day long. And I have to say, I do miss her! But she has done really well with it. Our school district moved us to a 4 day school week with Friday's off this year so that has been an adjustment as well. It just meanst that the school days are longer. For the little ones it makes for a big day. I didn't think that I would like a 4 day school week at all but it's actually been fine. It's kinda nice to have the kids home on Friday - when they're getting along that is:)
Abby started 2nd grade and she loves it. She's an old pro at this school thing! She was very excited to get back and see her "horse club" friends. Yes, they've created their own club and they ride around on their make believe horses. "Lily" gets fed often from the leaves of my trees. And Abby is the club leader. But she informed me the first week of school that occasionally she steps down so someone else can lead. How nice. A democracy.
Brooklyn also has a horse. Her name is Jessica. Not to be confused with Travis's new wife. Our horse Jessica was actually invented before Aunt Jessica came to be:)
This picture was taken on the first morning of school. The girls walk out at 7:10 am to get to the bus stop on time. The other pictures were taken the day before when both of them had a required 30 min. test to take, which was officially the first day of school, but not really. ( I know, it gets complicated.) Anyway, there you have it! Jace is depressed that his playmates are gone and is constantly looking for the uncles that occasionally visit but are nowhere to be found at the moment.
Which means that I have been doing a LOT of playing lately.....
