School has begun........

First Day of School.  (August 13th)  I can't believe it, I  have a 4th grader and 1st grader. 

They were so excited to wear their new shirts that Papa had gotten them the week before.(Justice is the rage, as is animals on shirts!)

 Sean was able to help take them to school this year with me.  Fiona didn't even look back, she sent us on our way, but Aida was a little nervous and cried when we left.  It broke my heart when we left.  I was  a little surprised as she is so outgoing, but I guess we all get a little nervous every once in while.  I got a report back that she was fine within a few minutes after we left.....

Faces of Aida

on her first day of Kindergarten.................

She insisted on riding the bus. She jumped right in and didn't need her Mama! She had no fear and was so excited that she was finally getting to go to school.

She didn't want to hold still for her picture!

Fiona and Aida waiting for the bus. The bus comes right to our front door.

Fiona is walking Aida to her classroom. I couldn't keep up! Fiona is a awesome big sister.

Aida is delighted to have Ms. Kuhn's for her teacher. This was Fiona's teacher for second grade, so it made it even more special for Aida as that is who she wanted!

First Day ...........

Off too Third Grade! (August 13th,2009)
Of course, Fiona didn't want me to take her too school, but at the last minute decided it was okay for me to take her.



The girls in front of the house. Aida was tested for Kindergarten, but doesn't start till next week. She was very disappointed that she wasn't going to go to school yet!

Current Conditions

-1.8 F
School Canceled. Which is totally crazy to me. I guess they were worried about the kids waiting for buses in this cold, cold weather. Good thing they've built in ten inclement weather days. Fiona and Aida are going to have a grand day at home.(Their mom might go crazy!) By the way no snow at all.(It's been forecasted all week.)
