First Day of School

By Khourianya @khourianya
I am officially a mom of first graders.  Yesterday marked the first day of school - something that is insane for me.  How did my kids get so old already?
And HUGE!  Look at how big they are now!

Abner HAD to be in the verandah photo.  He insisted.

How identical do they look here?  It's a little freaky.  I mean - I don't see them looking at all alike to me, but comparing features in these shots - there is no doubt about why other people have trouble.


Ugliest backpacks ever...but they love them.  First broken strap and we are heading to MEC.

Ok - so you can't see it.  Well, here is compared to first day of Kindergarten last year.



Now do you see it?
I must admit - I was a little misty at school drop off.  These little missies are my best friends and we are pretty close.  Being home full time has been so good for us all.   So, the house was a little too quiet and I was at loose ends on my first full day alone.   Luckily I have more than enough work to keep me busy that those hours they are away will speed by.  Especially now that I have some big things happening with my shop and more contract work coming in.  I think I may be working more now than when I had a full time job!
Ok - back to work with me.  I just wanted to share my cuties on their first day of grade school.  I'm so proud of them.
