Back to School!

Well, the first day of school has came and went. I do not look forward to the kids going back to school, at all! I really dread the added chaos and stress on the kids. Especially the older they get. The kids were all ready and excited though, which is a plus that I wasn't having to force them out the door. I am still wondering what happened to the rest of the summer vacation! Once the kids were at school I went to a mom - brunch. It was fun. My friend, Shawnee, had invited a few friends. We all took a breakfast item and just enjoyed each other.
This year was much easier for me. Last year about killed me. It was the first time in a very long time that I did not have a little buddy with me for at least part of the day. It was a hard transition for me! I even picked

up a 3rd day at work so that I wasn't so lonely. Funny how youbecome so accustomed to having a little person attached to you! Anyway, they all came home happy and excited for tomorrow. Ally and Hunter both declared that this was going to be the best year of their life!!! Here are some pictures of them this morning on their way out the door....
