It's That time of year....

It's football season again!!!



and here is what you will see if you come into my house on Saturday and Sunday for the next 4+ months :)

Hitting another milestone :)

Well I am about two weeks too late but here is Emmett and Molly's first days of school.....

Emmett started school on Wednesday August 24.  He is starting 2nd grade.  His teacher is Mrs. Atkinson.


(I didn't get up early enough to comb Molly & Max's hair :)

He really enjoyed his summer and everytime I asked him if he missed school he said NO!  But when we started to get closer to the first day he finally admitted that he was ready & excited for his first day.  I felt like last year being in 1st grade was still one of the little guys.  Now that he is in 2nd grade I feel like he is big time!! 

That same day Molly had her kindergarten orientation.  So her and I were able to go meet with her teacher, Mrs. Bishop, about 11:00.  Then we had the next two days to have fun and enjoy our time together before she became a "full-time" student.  Thursday we went shopping with grandma and Shannon.  Friday we went to take Grandma Becky a birthday card to her work.  (She turned 60 years old)!  After that we went on a lunch date with one of her best friends, Eme.  They got their nails painted and chose happy meals from Mcdonalds for lunch (of course)!  Then when we went to pick Max up from Grandma Kathy's Morgan was there.  And....I got ditched!!  Her last day before kindergarten and she wanted to hang out with Morgan instead!!
Monday rolled around, Finally!





She was so, so excited!!!

 
Here is Molly walking in the school and she NEVER looked back!

Now what I don't have a picture of is her mother crying...& crying....& crying!  Max kept asking "you done Mom?"  " You done?"   I wasn't.  I (for some reason) could not stop crying.  I kept picturing my little baby girl with her bangs put in a barrett.



How did I go from this...

....to this??


It just seems to have gone so fast.  How did I get TWO kids in school???  I told Max thank goodness I still have him at home :)

Well I stopped crying eventually and the day went pretty fast.  & Molly was all smiles when she got off the bus...


Her first two weeks have been great.  She loves every minute of it and I haven't shed a tear since that first day :)
