More first day of school photos...a little late getting these posted but a week ago last Monday there was a awful wind storm in our area that resulted in a power outage at 3:30 A.M. It lasted 4 hours! What timing for those trying to get ready for the first day of school. Especially for 9th grade girls! Of course Kyleigh was wigg'in...girlfriends in the neighborhood were texting to see if ANYONE had power. DRAMA. Sorry K but it was quite humorous watching you do your hair and makeup by lantern and flashlight! That one is going into the memory bank. No blow dryer, hair straightener, 3 barrel roll, iron, whats a girl to do? You sure realize how dependant and grateful you are for electricity when the power goes out! Luckily Kyleigh had showered the night before but she ended up going to school with damp leggings. They were still in the washer with plans to throw them in the dryer that morning. Oops! Needless to say she kept quite cool all day. That was the only minor mishap other than her hair not styled the way she wanted. I thought she managed to pull herself together quite well in the dark. Of course the power came on just about the time she needed to leave. Luckily we didn't have to take pics in the dark!
Kyleigh had a game the first day of school. She made the high school tennis team as one of their JV players. There are 17 on the team, all are in High School, except for five who are in jr. high. Way to go Kyleigh! Tennis is 5 days a week..matches M/W/F and practices T/Th. You add that to her 4 days of dance and its brought more excitement and running around to our schedule than I ever imagined. The tennis season is only 6 wks long though so its doable. Its been crazy but fun. I get to pick her up from school everyday and rush her to practice or to the high school to catch the bus for her away games. She's enjoying it and has won her last two matches. YEAH! Just wish we didn't have to deal with the head coach. We are less than pleased with her. EVERYONE thinks she's a piece of work! And that is being nice. I could say much much more...but won't.
Hannah was excited to start the 5th grade! Got a pic on the playground with her best friend before the bell rang. Her cute juicy couture glasses disappeared a week before school started. What timing, as she needs them to see the whiteboard. She last had them at the end of summer cousin sleepover at my sisters. Both households can't find them anywhere! We made her pay for her new glasses with her own money. $82 bucks she forked over. Is that mean? Hope its taught her a lesson to keep better track of those suckers. Anyhow, she goes around squinting, she hopes her two new pair arrive soon to go with her new do. Hair was chopped the day after this pic was taken.
After seeing the kids off, eight ladies from the neighborhood went out for breakfast at Kneaders. We do it every year and its about the only thing I look forward to on the first day of school.
Miss B Olivia started Kindergarten a week later. Finally an excuse to start reading those Junie B. Jones chapter books again. Love those things! The first book is about Junie's first day of Kindergarten. B is enjoying listening to them as she can relate although she doesn't have to ride the stupid smelly bus like Junie does.
It was pouring rain the morning of B's first day. Luckily it stopped by the time we had to leave. I was quite pleased with myself that I and the three younger were ready on time and out the door that early without any major fiasco...its a feat I tell ya AND all in enough time to pick up a neighbor girl and take pictures.
kissing Baby Kate goodbye...die die die
Kate is going to miss all the attention from her sisters. So sad. Here is B waving goodbye as she heads into the school. I kept it together then but admit I shed a couple of tears when I got home. You'd think by the 4th it would be easier.
So its just me and Kate now in the mornings. So grateful I have her. She is getting so big way too fast! This babe is already wanting to stand. She has such strong legs and chunky thighs. She's pulling herself up in her crib and so close to crawling.
