First Day of School

After a great summer the first day of school arrived.  We had moved in to our new place two days before and so we were still all in the middle of unpacking, but it was nice that we made it in time to start school on time.  I was a little worried about the girls starting a new school, but not too much, they are so social that I knew they would do just fine.  Our school starts at 7:50 which is almost a full hour earlier than our last school, so we have had to make some major adjustments.  Lizzy really struggles with getting up so early, and gets pretty grumpy, but Nellie does pretty well because she is a "morning bird"  She started calling it that rather than early bird.  I am seriously dying.  I don't want to get up that early and have to get my kids up that early.  It is making me think we may not want to stay here for when we buy a house just because of this.  

 Love the slim skinny jeans that just don't fit my little skinny girls.

 Lizzy was so so excited to start school.  I never worry about her because she makes friends so easily.  And of course she did.  When I picked her up the first day I asked her how it was and she said "It was amazing Mom!"  I love that.

 Lizzy lining up with her class.  Look at those chicken legs.  We even got the super skinny slim jeans and they still hang on her little legs.

 I'm so glad to see that Nellie does so well making friends too.  She and her little friend Kevin who sits next to her.  She is always telling me about him.  And a couple days after school started, she brought home a scrap of paper with a phone number on it.  I asked her what it was and she said "Its my BFF's number. Can we call her?"  I asked what her name was and Nellie said she couldn't remember.  I told her we can't call someone if we don't know their name.  Such a silly girl!  Later on we found out it is Michelle.

 We were so thrilled that Janie could get to attend Miss Patty's Place like Nellie got to.  We absolutely adore Miss Patty!  She is the most amazing teacher. Janie didn't start until two weeks after the girls did.  So the day she started she got ready right away including her shoes and book bag and was ready to go even though she goes in the afternoon.

 Look at that cute little monkey.

Janie is my most shy by far.  She never cries, but she gives me this look like "I can't believe you are making me do this." I started her in a little playgroup in the ward and the first day she went to it, she didn't cry but she was NOT happy about it.  But she ended up having a lot of fun.  I was glad that she wasn't this way with going to Miss Patty's.  She was still a little shy but she was excited too.
