1st day of school

Well, we made it through the summer. I feel kind of bad that we did not go anywhere exciting this summer. We had plans to go to the beach and hang out there for a week, then head to San Antonio for some time on the board walk. We did nothing. It was too hot to go anywhere plus Aubrey's volleyball season was right dab in the middle of summer. We went swimming a couple times a week, and made it the water parks a few times, but that was the extent of our fun.

Last week was a trying time for our whole family. The girls were ready to get to school and with Steve and I both working from home, it can feel a little "cramped" sometimes with us all at home--well, it rained all week last week and we were all stuck inside. Luckily we made it!!

So I had my alarm set to go off at 7:00a yesterday morning. I realize that there is a person standing in front of me. I open an eye and Aubrey is just standing there. I swear, the child has done this all her life, just stands there--(it really freaks me out when she does this in the night). So anyway, I realize she is completely dressed and as I am waking up, here comes Anna and she is completely dressed. I look at the clock thinking 'Oh no I overslept' but NO, it was only 6:55a!! Aubrey woke up early and woke Anna up at 6:40a she said. So here they were ready to go! This is not like Anna to get up so early, and be dressed before 7a.

Here is Anna--but new big 2nd grader!!

Aubrey--my new big 5th grader!!

There were ready to get to school, I was almost sprinting to just keep up with them!

This was as far as they would let me go. I promised them this was the last picture I would take.

So here we are today the 2nd day of school. Aubrey woke up with smiles and was dressed before 7am again. Anna on the other hand--was not wanting to get up. There was the threat of pouring water on her and even an early morning spanking. Ha, Anna hates to wake up!!
