It's Official...

...Mac is a 4th grader and Lilly is a kindergartner! This morning both kids were very anxious to get to their new school. They were both up plenty early and buzzing around with excitement. The morning went very smoothly.

I let both kids pick out their outfits for the day...

Lilly's was definitely bright and interesting...just what I would expect from her. (at least she let me talk her out of a pink sparkly scarf she wanted to wear with this outfit)

Mac's was the usual- shorts and a hoodie. Nothing predictable about this kid- HA! It was a bit chilly for shorts, but Mac wears them when it's snowing, just like his Dad...

I handled the drop-off/goodbye pretty well until it was REALLY time to go and Pat was forcing me out of her class room. As soon as I reached the door, the tears were falling down my cheeks and there was NO stopping them. We took Lilly to her class first and met Mac in his after we were done in Lilly's. I think Mac was relieved to go into his class without me tagging a long. When we went to his class, he was already prepping for his day. He gave us a quick good-bye wave and out we went. I am so glad that Pat was there with me!

I think Lilly is going to have a great year. She is very social and makes friends easily. She liked her desk and was ready to get started!
The day has been very long for me...I have just a little over an hour to go before I go pick them up, Griff is napping at the moment and the house is just TOO DANG QUIET! I know I will be busy soon and the days will go by quickly...
