The Girlies Start Kindergarten!!!

My little girlies started Kindergarten at the big Elementary School last week!! I was able to hold it together (only because I've got little Brother at home with me still), but it was hard leaving them in the classroom on Wednesday. They have had a blast their first 2 half-days. I know they will do great their first full-week this week! We are able to walk to and from school while the weather stays nice which is great to avoid the car line and Owen loves the stroller. We'll see if they (mainly me :) can keep getting ready in time to walk. The excitement of the first few days was pumping and we all got ready really fast....I don't expect that to last :) So long, lazy Monday and Friday mornings at home and hello Up and At-em every day!!!!

Ready for our first day of Kindergarten!! They look so old in their uniforms. (Which I think I'm going to LOVE having)

Thanks to Melanie Grogan for snapping this pic of the whole family walking to school :)

Cousins all together at big school...we are missing 2 other cousins that go there too :)

SO EXCITED about getting Miss Benson...have only heard FABULOUS things about her!!! I know she will take good care of my girlies this year!

Big girls with lockers (lockets according to Macey)

This little boy LOVES him some Leigh Leigh right now. He will crawl up to her begging to be picked up and carried around by her...and she is more than happy to oblige. Not sure how much longer she will be able to hold him :)

Owen and Lilly's 1st Birthday Party

We had Owen and Lilly's birthday party last weekend. We combined them to keep most of the family from having to come to two parties a few weeks apart. It's fun planning with someone else too :) We did a Peter Rabbit theme and loved tying everything in.
