Senioritis - Like A 13OSS

Today is the first day of school for my girls...  I have one who is a 7th grader (whom I will not get a 1st day of school picture of until AFTER school) and one *sob* who is a Senior!  

She can't get away from my wandering camera fast enough, I tell you!...  But she'll still pose if I point it her way.  And this is why she's going to an undisclosed college next year... 

 I helped with the Senior breakfast this morning and got up dang early.  11:30, 1:15 & then 5:09.  For various reasons... but the 5:09 wake up stuck...  I had to be at the hall by 7 with my cut up cantaloupe that wasn't cut up yet.  Got my morning chores and cantaloupe cutting done and headed over.

The breakfast went fast.  The only table available was right in front of the moms with cameras, so a LOT of the guys went out on the deck and ate with their backs to the cameras.  That table stayed empty...

On the backs of these Senior shirts are nicknames that each kid was either assigned or asked for.  Some were, Baby Legs, The New Kid, Al Pal, The Bus, Mr. HotPants, Mrs. HotPants, etc.  Mad's was Sleepy, which she is until she intakes 3 quarts of coffee each day.

It took me a LONG time to find my daughter in the crowd of kids during the group picture. 

 

I guess I was looking for a tow head.

 Back at the house then, I took an "Off To School" shot of my nieces who are headed back to college today.  They and their family stayed over last night and are moving into their dorm today.

And their brother, aka Justin Bieber lookalike, getting mobbed by the dogs.  They LOVE him!

With the amount of sleep I got last night, it's going to be a long day!
