High School and 4th Grade

I officially have a Freshman and 4th Grader.

                   This photo was taken before they went off to school for their first day on Monday.

Not sure when they became old enough for one to be starting high school and the other to only have 2 years left of elementary school.  They both keep us laughing with all the things they come up with.  I hope they have a wonderful year.  

I know the next 4 years will be a time for my daughter to figure out a lot about herself,  create memories you can only create in high school, tons of football games, driving and to start thinking about her future goals to name a few.  

My son's best friend is now at his school...so far he has not complained once about going to school!  They are not in the same class (thank goodness for the teacher/those two come up with some ideas) but have recess at the same time.  It will be a lot of fun hearing what those two have to say each day.  I can imagine the stories now. :)

A little bit of Fall

I know it is not truly fall until later on in September.  Around my house once the kids go back to school it feels like fall.  Maybe it is wishful thinking since it is my favorite season but it gives me the excuse to start decorating for fall.  Slowly pulling things out and coming up with ideas.  I enjoy summer but I can't wait to see the leaves start to change.
