The first day of school was today. Steve woke the kids up with his special wake up song. I tortured them by taking pictures far too early in the morning. Bryson was a super unhappy girl because the hair dryer broke and she couldn't get her hair dry. The boys were mad because they were ready to leave and she was still trying to get ready. But for once, all of their stuff was in the backpacks ready to go. That is probably the last time that will happen all year! And I am happy because most days I am out of the house before they wake up and I don't usually have to deal with the morning chaos!From here on out, that will be Steve's problem! I just went in late today so I could get my first day of school pictures. I have always taken them. I used to follow them into the school to their classrooms to take pics. But about 4th grade or so, Bryson informed me there would be no more of that! So, I have to settle to taking them at home. In some ways, summer is so much easier. There is no dealing with homework and all of the chaotic school stuff. But, when I think of how much money I will save in groceries and my electric bill, I am glad school has started. My cabinets haven't been full all summer. Everyday, I think I have everything we need and get home to find they have eaten it all! I come home everyday to find 5 TV's on and not one of them being watched. And Dusty will be in front of the computer where he has been since he woke up, give or take a lunch break or bathroom break. That kid has vegged out in front of this computer all summer! Yep, It is time to go back to school!
Dusty is in the 6th grade! This will be his last year at the elementary school!
Jordan is a high school freshman! What????
Bryson is a junior this year! I better stock up on kleenex for next year! She better prepare for a serious mama meltdown as I am taking her first day of school pic her senior year!
My 3. Hard to believe in just 2 years, I will only have two kids posing for the first day of school pictures! It's seriously too much for me think about! :(

Oh they look great! I am so excited to not come home to a trashed house every day once school starts in a week and a half.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it amazing how fast they grow!
Thanks! It makes me sad that they are growing up so fast! And I forgot all about how nice it is to come home to a clean house. It is GREAT!
ReplyDeleteThe pictures are great!! That's great--torturing them by taking pictures--gave me a giggle!!!
