First Day of School!

Hooray! The first day of school has come.
The whole family was ready to get back into the school routine.
Especially Mallory. Especially because she started middle school.
Yikes!  Not sure if this mom can handle her babies growing up so stinkin' quick.

Our first day of getting around for the school bus went remarkably well.  The kids were eager to get ready and were even being a bit goofy while waiting.

Matthew moved to a different school this year.  This will be the first year since he was 3-years old that he will not be in class with his dear friend Lilly.  I'm sure they make up for lost time at recess.

Hannah's off to 1st grade.  She was so ready to get back to school!

Hannah loves to take her lunch.  She hurries up to get ready and then packs her own cooler with lunch for the day.

Even Dot was ready for the school routine.
She took to her duty of bus watch immediately.

Mallory was eager to see her bus driver, Wanda.

She even made sure that Wanda knew to take her to the middle school since she is a big kid now.

Matt and Hannah stayed busy while I finished getting ready for work and then we were off to start the day.

Hannah was disappointed to learn that 1st graders still go to daycare after school.
