Let the Chaos Begin

Ahhh, those Fall days when the leaves change, the air gets crisp and you just want to eat all the yummy apples you can.  A sign that the first day of school has come.  NOT!  It is hot, it is dang hot and there are only leaves turning brown because they can't stand the heat one more day.  It is way to hot to breathe, eat, sleep and especially to cook.  It is August.  School is here.  UGH!  I know I am one of those weird Moms that like my kids home.  It is nice to be together (usually) and I enjoy not having a schedule to stick by.  If we want to go somewhere we do.  If we want to sleep in, we do.  And like I have admitted before, I don't really care for homework.  I know it is important and that it is good for my kids, but really I think it is one of the necessary evils of life.  I just want to let my kids run wild in the backyard for awhile and eat snacks and go for a bike ride.

Now there are pluses to this annual event.  It makes me get up in the morning and get going.  I finally admit that I am a night owl.  I haven't wanted to admit it.  I am supposed to go to bed early and rise early.  I know it is better.  But I admit, I am not one of those people.  Being on a schedule really does help me be better.  And secondly, I now have three kids in school all day.  Eee gads.  Amazing.  Unbelievable.  When they were 2 and were constantly destroying EVERYTHING, I could not invision this ever happening and now we are already there.  Mind boggling.

So now that I have bored even myself with my rants and random thoughts, I will post the pictures we have all been waiting to see.  The FIRST DAY SCHOOL PICTURES.  My cutie pututies:

PS Sarah is in the brown shirt and Abby in the orange.  In case you need a little help!  :o)
