We Love Routine!

After a very busy, very lazy, very slow, very fast, very non-routine summer, we were SO ready to begin the regular routine that school brings with it today. Ahhhh....

Bear headed out the door first today. All alone. By herself. First time ever. She was relishing the thought of the independence of no siblings at school with her. For now she thinks that's cool. Next year she might be wishing for some sibling company at middle school.
Little Buddy and Little Girl were ready next. They had decided against riding their bikes the first day, but Little Buddy tore off on his when he saw the neighbors heading out. Little Girl and I drove up to the school and met Little Buddy to head in to their 3rd & 4th grade classes.
Heidi was already feeling the woes of the day ahead because Dad left with his suitcase (business trip to Florida for a few days) and Mom was getting ready like she was going to leave too. She pouts when she knows we're leaving her. So pitiful.


Bit was insistent on NOT having the traditional first day of school picture taken.

She ended up giving in while the younger two were goofing off out front. Butterflies were making her a bit jittery on her first day of high school.

Wait a minute! You have one going to high school!? And where is Bear going if she's not going to middle school and not going to elem school?

Great lookin' kids! Such beautiful smiles! :) (Thought I'd throw in that little comment after reading the post below this one.)

All of their photos by the door are beautiful! I'm glad Bit gave in & posed, too. : )

Poor Heidi, being abandoned by all of her people! You should give her extra treats to make up for such bad treatment. :)
