Back To School

You know I hate school, right? Really. Hate it. And every year comes new and better reasons for hating school.

This year we hate school because this is Abigail's last year of elementary school. Can you imagine? She's a sixth grader now. Queen of the campus. We hate sixth grade.

Also because it's Leah's first year of Kindergarten. Gone every day now. Still only half days, but every single day. Hate it. We hate Kindergarten. Luckily, Kindergarten starts a week after the rest of school, so at least it has that going for it. We did meet with her teacher today, though. So, it kind of started. Starting today or starting next week, we hate Kindergarten.

Bubba's in third grade, and there is really nothing good to say about third grade. We hate third grade.

When the littles and I brought the kids lunch this year, we were pleasantly surprised to see that Abigail and Harrison have lunch at the same time. They can eat together if they want (which they don't), and be on the playground together for the long recess. That makes this mom's heart happy. But, while we were all eating together I asked Abigail if she would let me bring her lunch next year on her first day of Junior High. "Uh, I don't think so, mom. Thanks anyways". Doesn't that stink?

Anyway, here are the obligatory first day of school (and first day of meeting the teacher) pictures. Even though we hate the first day of school, they are still stinkin' cute, right? And way, way too big.
