Back to School...Already!

Everyone always acts like the kids go back to school so early, but honestly it's been like this since our kiddos started school. First of August is the new norm! And I'm okay with it!  They get so many breaks during the year, so number of school days is still the same.

We attended Open House at the tri-schools (the kids are in three separate buildings on one big campus) and met the teachers. I can already tell; it's going to be a great year!

First day of school: everyone up super early, very few nerves, a lot of excitement. I got the standard first day pictures (WITH OUR SIGNS, which were missing last Fall due to the pending move into the new house).

Though the kids had a fine experience last year as bus riders, they are car riders this year due to some afternoon scheduling issues.  First day of drop off about did me in (but they say it gets better) :)

I miss the kiddos!! I get used to having them as my sidekicks during the day. BUT, they came home smiling and excited about the year! 

(And after 2 days of school, they were out 3 days due to the Tropical Storm that hit us!  So the next week was like the first day of school, all over again.  Fortunately, we did not have water but so many in our town were affected by the post storm flooding!)
