what a refreshing sight … backpacks all packed up with school supplies and lunches ready to head out to school. then again … it means 4 extra backpacks laying around my house every day. and yes … there are only 3 in the picture … there is a 4th. lol!

i won’t get to deep on these pictures of the girls on their first day of the new school year. after all … i did the mushy, sentimental stuff about each of them just a week or so ago. let’s just say that i hope they all have a great year … love their new teachers … learn lots of good stuff … meet lots of new friends … get the "good" desk in the classroom … don’t get too much homework … and stay focused and attentive in class. is that too much to ask? lol!

alyssa … my new 6th grader.

sarah … my new 3rd grader.

ashlen … our new 4th grader.

and amanda … our new 2nd grader.

a 2nd, a 3rd, a 4th, and a 6th grader … how crazy is that?!?! lol! hard enough trying to figure out one grades homework … i get 4 different levels of homework questions at me at once. but today … all the homework is for me. i hate the first day because i end up with all this paperwork to fill out. did i not fill these same papers out last year? i really should photocopy them … that way next year i can save myself some time. lol!

and yes … they were all bugged by the fact that i made them take these pictures today. i actually took them several times. i took some this morning before school … but we were in a hurry. then i didn’t like that sarah had on a jacket … you’d think it was winter or something. so i made her retake them after school. and since i was already out there … i had alyssa re-take her’s … because the morning ones weren’t that great. then i made her re-take the re-takes because the yellow shirt just wasn’t "popping" like i wanted … so she changed her shirt. i really should do ashlen’s again … she’s got the jacket too. maybe tomorrow!
