Gotta Go Back to School

I can't stand it.  Another summer come and gone.  And now the kids gotta go back to school - something I never look forward to. Time seriously needs to slow down.  If only...

But the kids were super excited and ready to get back in the groove.  Especially Millie....because it was her first day of JUNIOR HIGH!  On Monday they had a day that is just for 7th graders so they can, you know, find their classes and figure out their locker combinations.  They only went for a few hours. We were in Island Park the week before and got home the night before her big day.  I went to school early with her to help her get it all worked out {because we missed Back to School Night while we were gone}.  She was glowing and so excited.  And nervous too, but not as nervous as most.  Being in Student Council makes a big difference because she already knows a ton of older kids in the school.  Doesn't she look beautiful?

So much cuter than I was in 7th grade!

Top locker....yes!

 Here's the kids on their REAL first day of school {Tuesday}:

At the bus stop - I offered to drive the kids to school but they wanted to ride the bus!

BS followed the bus to school and snapped some pics of the boys with their teachers:

After school Millie went to her friend's house to "hang out."  Her friend's Mom took these cute pictures:

It's starting already....the whole BOYS thing!  But aren't they cute?

For dinner we met BS at Tepanyaki for our Back To School Dinner.  With the move and everything else going on I just couldn't muster up a fancy dinner this year so this was their 2nd choice:

Sambo trying to catch a shrimp

And now Will...but he missed - it's on his chin!

After dinner we came home for YW and Scouts.  But not before we had dessert:

Rice Krispy Cake!

Here are some pics of the boys on Monday getting spiffed up for school.  They talked me into going to "Sports Clips" for haircuts and lunch at Firehouse Subs.  No wonder they like this hair place!  They got the MVP treatment with steamed facial towels, head scrub, and massages!

Lookin good!  Goodbye summer buzz
