It's been a long week :)

Whew, we made it, the whole first week of school is now behind us. She was a trooper, had one day of Time Out and I think a few more warnings but nothing else her teacher had to put on her behavior calendar. But as you can see, up every day by 5:30 AM had taken it's toll and then tonight she stayed up a little later with me to watch Taylor Swift on CMT. Let me tell you this little girl went to bed happy tonight.

Little sister didn't quite make it so late. I think it's going to be a good thing that she has Friday's off to recover from all the running we do all week, even with a nap this afternoon, she was still ready for bed just after 7, poor baby, it's been a big adjustment for her too. Apart from being tired though she had a great first week too. We'll see how tomorrow morning goes, here's hoping they sleep in a little. Maybe without Daddy having to be up too there is a chance... well one can hope anyway.

Last but not least:)

Just a few more...

Couldn't resist adding these close ups too. :)

thank you

Thank you Aunt Tiny, the girls couldn't wait to give a little fashion show. LOL. As you can see everything fits, for not seeing them in person for so long, you are really good at judging sizes! And we all had a bit of an impromptu photo shoot/fashion show tonight. Always fun. Especially when the subjects are so willing. :)

Devyn's First Day of Preschool

Think she was excited??? Her teacher's said she had a GREAT Day. (Color this one RELIEVED Mama!) I stopped at Walmart on the way home from dropping her off (Walmart with NO KIDS, wow, what a concept!) and on faith that she WOULD have a good day, I picked her up her own Mermaid Tale Barbie and a Strawberry Shortcake Flick. Yes, we buy treats for the first day of school. J got flowers and a Scooby Doo movie yesterday so it was only fair. ;) I love these girls and I love that we are off to a good start (relatively) to the school year.

Julia's first day of school part 2

Waiting for the bus. In the heat. Yes, we are letting Julia ride the bus home from school. This was such a big deal to her and such a hard thing for me to let her do it. But so far it's going okay. So we'll see. Her first day of school was a big success. Today, not so much, a Time Out (from my Angel girl??!!!) Trust me, we have talked! Hopefully tomorrow is a better day again.
