It's the first day of school and the kids are ALL gone! Dogs outside! I think I could get used to this...
Sorsha was gnawing on a dog treat stick this morning, so Meri snapped a picture, thinking she looked kind of funny.
Robb stuck around a little longer this morning and made the girls their favorite breakfast, homemade hash browns and breakfast burritos! Then they stressed over their hair and clothes. I scrambled and put the final stitches into Meri's fanny pack so the buckle won't fall off and then we were off!
Dropped Maddy off to catch her bus ride. Can you believe she won't kiss me good bye anymore??! I guess it's not cool this year, being a freshmen and all... I'm kissing you in my mind dear!
Then drove Meri and her best friend, also our neighbor over to the elementary school. She'll ride the bus tomorrow, but for the first day, I always drive her over and walk her to the classroom. She was stressing out because only the kids who rode the bus could go straight to the classrooms. All others had to sit in the hall. Well.... I have to get to work! So I told her that Mommies can do anything, I grabbed her hand and we walked to the classroom. She's saying things like,"I'm going to get in trouble! Mom! " But we got to the classroom and her teacher smiled and said good morning to her as she found her desk. All is well. Can't wait to their reports tonight on how the day went for them.
Oh boy... Now I miss them!

They are darling! Do you remember stressing over hair and clothes on the first day back to school? I definitely do. LOL. Hope everyone had a great day.
They are beautiful!
That first picture of Meri - she looks really excited to be going to school! Seriously!
And your dog looks exactly, exactly, exactly like my MIL's dog Freckles. Seriously!
Awwww.... I love their first day of school outfits! :)

They are so cute! Anna is back in school as of yesterday and DJ goes next Tuesday. I really need a break but I'm sure after a couple of weeks I'll really miss them.
So kids dont wear uniforms at school there? Our kids all still wear uniforms in state and private schools...I much prefer them to I must say as they all "fit in" so to speak. No competition about who is wearing what. Hugs Khirs in Oz
Looks like a great first day! Both girls looked very cute.

It's still August and I have been reading all these back to school posts?!?!? Schools here, where I live in Upstate NY, don't go back until the first week in September. How strange.
BTW - the girls look super cute! I love that shirt that Meri is wearing. Did you make that?
I am out surfing this morning. I popped by from a comment that you left on a blog.
I live in Ohio. I would guess that you do too?? We have a big butter cow too at our state fair.
I adore the purse that you made on your own. Very talented!!
