Can You Hear Them? School Bells are Ringing and the Girls are Screaming

 

The week before school started I took my girls…my little girls…to their orientation.  Before arriving they were still my lil’ kindergartener and 2nd grader, but after they turned into these big 1st and 3rd graders….ugh!!  I can’t believe they are SO big!!  Here we are posing for the camera at orientation…

~sweetness and craziness~yep that’s my girls!

In the days following orientation, we got our supplies and backpacks all packed up and ready.  They each got they’re toe nails done, hair ready, outfits picked out…..we were ready!!  Well they enjoyed the shopping and seeing their school buddies, but when the realization of school bells ringing….alarms ringing…..and structure hitting our lives again, they were NOT happy campers!!!

But it’s gotta be done…..and now that we’ve been there for a couple of weeks things are getting easier….THANK the LORD!!

First day of 1st grade and 3rd grade (I got the stomach virus that 1st morning and so Daddy stepped up and took care of everything)….

I got this idea from pinterest.  The cup had “Sharpie” pens and “Smartie” candies in them.  Too cute!!  And I think the teachers really liked them!

So the bells are still ringing but thankfully the girl’s screaming is coming to a halt.

ACA Future Cheerleaders

Its the week of September 6th and the girls are participating in the school’s CHEER CAMP!!!

Since school started I get asked at least once a day about CHEER CAMP and how much longer they had to wait!!

FINALLY, our week came and Cora Jane and Vera Kate couldn’t have been more excited!  So everyday after school their fearless leaders, the Varsity cheerleaders and coaches, would teach this group of 26 girls how to cheer on our EAGLES!!

The girls worked HARD all week long and their payoff finally came at the Pep-Rally!  The girls got to cheer during the most exciting thing at school….can you feel the excitement?!?!?  And as if that wasn’t enough….they got to cheer during half-time at the home game that night!!!!  Wahoo!!

School Bells Ringing

DSCF4597

On Thursday, August 5th, the girls and I attended their school’s Open House.  We had a lot of fun and got to see old friends, meet new ones, and get a feel for the new school year at ACA. 

I was so busy getting all the girl’s new info that I forgot to get pictures.  I just happened to get this one of CJ at her desk……this was before the kids took over..tehe!  Needless to say I didn’t get one of V.  I don’t think she would have sit still anyhoo.

The first day of school brought lots of change for my girls and our family.  First of all, structure.  We do alright with structure, but for the most part we enjoy our laid back way of life.  So waking up early and going to bed early came difficult for this household.  We’re managing pretty good.  We’ll see how well we’re doing in a few weeks.  Smile.

The summer time spoils me.  I get too used to having my girls around the house and with me ALL the time.  Granted we all get tired of each other every now and then, and a couple hours away from each other is really good for us.  But I miss my girls!  Its an adjustment for all of us…we miss being together…but we’ll do extra things to make up for it….tehe!

Thankfully I still have my little man at home with me!  We have been filling our days with lots of playtime on the floor…with his tractors and accessories (lol).  I LOVE hooking up the different tractors and loading them with stuff.  Bulldozing blocks and making play-doh balls is just a little of the fun me and my little man have been up too.

Ok, I know these pictures are TeRriBLe but we had a bad start the first morning and I forgot my camera.  So thanks to my trusty BB I was able to get these pics. 

So our morning started out pretty good, with the exception I was sick and had been all weekend.  The girls got up great, ate breakfast, we were getting dressed WHEN………CJ starts having a melt down over her shoes.  After lots of deliberating we were coming to an agreement when she started to get sick too!  Grreeeaaatt!  I get VK loaded up and ready to go and CJ loaded up and ready to go to the doctor.  Whit was still sleeping and Cory was taking care of him….thank GOD!

After dropping VK off , crying, and all the sentimental things a Momma goes through on the first day of Kindergarten, CJ and I head to the doctor.  God is so good……..Doc said with some minor meds we should both be good to go.  So back to school it was for CJ….whew I’m exhausted just telling the story!  lol! 

So despite the drama our first day gave us, we managed to have a great first week of school!  We are really excited about all the new challenges and changes that are coming our way since the school bells started ringing!

God is good….ALL the time,


So do not fear for I am with you, do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
Isaiah 41:10 NIV
