BaCk To ScHoOl... already?

Savannah and her backpack from preschool, and yes she IS using it for 5th grade. She thinks she's hilarious! (I think she's pretty funny too!)

I really just can't believe it's back to school already! I mean REALLY, where did the summer go? I'm in mourning over the loss of our Summer... it was a good summer and it will be missed... sniff.

Anyhow, the kids started school. Yay!

Sammy was a little nervous about 1st grade, but he did just fine. And, don't worry we already suffered the first tragedy... he lost his Lightning McQueen lunch box on the first day! Yes I said the FIRST DAY... so at least we have that out of the way, right?

Avery is my little hero. She walked right in and sat down and started organizing her school supplies into her desk. Love her! She has a new girl in her class this year and the little girls Mom asked if she could introduce her to Avery because she looked like she was good and settled. Avery and Sydney are cute little friends already, and sit by each other in class. It couldn't be more perfect.

Savannah is the big kid, and I have to say I'M NOT READY!

She is hilarious, and she is in fact toting that Princess backpack to the 5th grade. She even made me get her princess folders too. And she laughed at how funny she was the whole time she packed her bag for school. Goof ball! She wasn't so sure about her teacher, because her BFF wasn't in her class. So far it looks like she's going to love her class and her teacher... so all is well... phew!

So tonight I'm toasting my diet coke to School. WeeHoo!

Cast On... Cast Off...

Avery FINALLY doesn't have a cast anymore! phew....

After a couple attempts the x-rays finally said it was healed!

Thank Goodness!!

She was a good sport, even though it wasn't too hard. The cast was waterproof and she was allowed to swim in it. She still is my daughter, and on nights it was really wet she would get out the blow dryer and dry it off before bed. (I love her)

She kept saying she was afraid it would smell like a foot like Sammys did! (hee hee I wonder where she heard that!)

But it's off now, all is well ~ and we are getting ready for school to start...

Where did the summer go?

The Splash Park...

We have had so much fun at our new little splash park! It has all the fun fountains and a great fake little river thing, ya know that the kids won't get swept away in.

We love it!! Woo Hoo!!

I especially love letting Brookie run free until she completely collapses when we get home. (top picture) Nothing is better than that!!

Happy Summer, I'm not ready for it to be over!
