Michael and Olivia leaving for the bus...
Summer went so quick!
They had no problem getting up at 6:00 AM.
I'm sure this will change in a few days. The bus comes at 6:40 AM.
Michael is riding the bus with his sister again.
Junior High and Senior high are on the same bus.
Actually they attend the same school.
Well, the Junior High is in the back of the Senior High.
Same building.
A little confusing?
How grown up they looked...especially Michael.
Watching him walk down the driveway made me remember when he was three.
He had just finished brushing his hair and was "checking" himself out in the mirror and suddenly said, "The girls are gonna love me."
I try to do something special for them on the first day of school.
I'm going to make their favorite dinner and some brownies.
Then it's off to work for Olivia.
She's working till 11:00 tonight. I really hope it's not too much for her!
Enjoy your Wednesday.

My youngest starts school tomorrow. He has a half day so I too will be taking a half day to pick him up and whisk him off to a lunch. He has a had a ball doing a few all nighters this summer so by the end of the week I am sure he will be exhausted!!! It's hard to believe how fast they grow!

How exciting for them. They do look all grown up and so neat waiting to go out the door.
Time passes so quickly.
I hope they have a great year.

Awww, what cuties! I can't believe y'all have to wear jackets in August. That blows my mind.
BECKY says
Hi Sunshine!! It's so funny that they are going back to school, and me and Maddy just started our break from school. She has her evaluation in August so we just go through til August each year (with a slightly lighter summer load) and then break for 4-6 weeks. Your post sure brings back memories for me, too!! My older three and I were all public schooled. The good old days!!
I'm sure it was a great day!! What an awesome Mom you are to do something special for them!! They'll remember that always!!
Have a terrific Thursday!!
Love ya!!
Becky

At Home With Amy says
My son started his Senior Year of college on Monday and my daughter starts 8th grade on the 31st. It seems like summer only started doesn't it?
I'll pray that Olivia can find a good balance between work and school. She's a smart girl. She will figure it out.
Hope the kiddos had a great 1st day!
Hugs,
AMY

Oh, Lois. Reading this takes me back to when my kids were still in school. It was hard seeing them grow up. I always wanted them at home with me! Yours look so cute; and what Michael said about the girls loving him is hilarious! I hope they both have a really good school year.
