New School

Our kids started at a new school this year. I am actually SO excited. I love all of their teachers and think they fit with my kiddos perfectly. Anna was a little skeptical because she now has to wear a uniform... and shoes?! I really don't think Anna even owned a pair of shoes until now. She has worn flip flops everyday of her life! I personally love the uniforms. Especially because Emmy has.... let's just say her own 'style' and I would be nervous people would think she was homeless with out them. I have made several headbands and hairclips to ensure Anna's need to be a little fashionable!

Anna had a hard time the night before the first day of school. She hates meeting new people and being in new places. I kept reassuring her she makes friends so easily. I don't know what I am going to do with Molly by myself though. Anna has taken the role of her 2nd mom so now I'm going to have to take Molly with me to run errands??? I was spoiled over the summer.

Emmy had a hard time falling asleep but was ready to ride the bus in the morning! (I hope the newness of riding the bus doesn't fade!) She is so excited to be big. Even though she's not technically my baby we still treat her as one so it was really hard for me to see her go. She says funny crap all day long and I am going to really miss her constant entertainment.

James was geared up and ready to go. He is super sweet and kept saying for at least the first week of school he will make sure the girls are where they should be and have friends before he finds his own. He really is such a great big brother. I'm going to miss being able to talk to him during the day. He's been my good friend over the summer.

Lunches were made, bags were packed, and we headed to the bus stop. (which conveniently is at our mailbox! I thought I would have to drive them somewhere.)

Anna was scared, Emmy was excited, and James was ready.

(This picture doesn't even do Emmy justice. Jared and I were crying/laughing over her facial expressions sitting on the bus. Even while typing this I'm giggling)

After the bus picked them up, I jumped in the car and headed to the school to make sure they got there safe!! They all seemed fine so I left, cried, and headed to sonic.
