Back 2 School

The day I have been waiting for since July has finally arrived. Cecily has AM kindergarten and Jocelyn is in 2nd grade. They both loved their first days. Cecily heard a story about a raccoon and then colored a picture. Jocelyn came home with a back to school poem that we're trying to figure out if she's supposed to memorize it or not.
I don't know what the deal is with my girls and goofy smilies. Jocelyn looks like Gilly from SNL.

Chris dropped the girls off at school today. Which I am grateful for because I did the meet the teacher by myself with all the kids last night and it was pretty stressful. He made them pancakes with peaches from our tree and non-fancy eggs. We also got some great photos of them. I didn't want to leave my studly little man out.

I walked the long way to pick up Cecily from school. It's 1.3 miles the long way and then I walked .4 miles from the school cul-de-sac to our house.

 I hope these make sense. The cul-de-sac is closer to our house but because of how the neighbor road is to get to the front of the school it's 1.3 miles from our house. I could cut through to get to the front but the whole point is to walk the long way. It was HOT in the sun (it's actually 98 right now which is the hottest it's been all summer) so I was nice and sweaty when I got there.

 Anyone want to move by us? This awesome house is for rent....

 ALMOST THERE! (I'm totally dramatizing this...)

 Waiting for Cecily, Asher is actually yelling "out!" here.

 Cecily is the slowest walker known to man so I make her get in the stroller too. Don't worry she's not crying cause I insulted her. She was smiling and looking at the camera when I realized it was on the viewer and from the time it took me to switch the little thing her eyes were hurting from the bright sun.

And here's Jocelyn after a nice first day!
