And they're off...

...to their first day of school.  Wearing their cool new shoes...

...and their cool new attitudes.  Ms. 4th grader is too cool to kiss mommy before she gets on the bus, yet doesn't forget to turn and wave with a big smile right before she gets on :)

And Ms. Kindergartner is so excited, she almost forgets to say 'good-bye' before she runs as fast as she can to the door of the bus when it pulls up.  She has been waiting for this moment forever and is finally glad it's here (hopefully she'll still be as enthusiastic getting off the bus too).

Baby has her book-bag packed (with a family picture) and is waiting patiently for the bus.  She really thinks she is getting on with her sisters, which makes me want to laugh and cry at the same time (because it won't be long)...

So, right now, the two of us are a bit lost, and are sticking stickers all over the wood floor to keep ourselves entertained.  I think we are going to run some errands to keep our minds off of our girls being away (as if I don't have a million things around here I could be doing).

I took the holiday weekend 'off' and hosted our families 10th annual 'Scrapfest!'  We had lots of scrap-booking, memory sharing, and yummy treats...a fun time for all involved!  I just can't believe it's September already and school is back in session...although I'm enjoying the cool mornings where I can sit on the porch for a bit.  I love fall and this time of year, but honestly...where does the time go?

Time goes a little too fast if you ask me..especially when it comes to babies :) Mine started 5th grade this year and I still feel like it was yesterday when he stepped into Kindergarten.

Oh my goodness, I need shoes like those! Time does fly, that's for sure!

Of course your kids have adorable shoes. OF COURSE!
PS- I'd wear those Chucks if they came in my size. Is that wrong? :)

awww. I feel the pain. First days of school can be so hard not just on the kids but also on the parents. I remember being so sad when school started but then loving it because I got to see all my friends. It is really cute to hear how excited you girls were for school. I am pretty sure I will cry big baby tears when Payton goes off to school :/
