First day of school

Today was the girls first day of school. They are starting a new school this year since we moved South Lincoln Elementary. They are a little nervous, but excited at the same time. It's a really small school 600 students from K-8 grade. I can't believe that Alyssa is starting 7th grade, next thing you know she will be starting high school. Where has the time gone.

We had to go school supply shopping the other night. Let me just say I hate this, they always jam all the school supplies into 3 isles and 100 people trying to get to the last pack of paper. I say every year that I am going to stock up before school, so I don't have to fight these crowds. And why do the teachers always put something on the list that you have to go on a scavenger hunt to find. Whatever happened to crayons, pencils and paper. No, now they won't you to have the long twistable color pencils, and wouldn't you know that they weren't with all the other school supplies. We had to hunt all over the store for these and book covers. Found color pencils, but no book covers. So now the hunt is on for book covers.

I hope they make lots of friends and have a great time at their new school. Good luck girls and I will be thinking about you all day.
