Back to School

Last night we went to back-to-school night and I had a moment, looking around the all too familiar halls, where I felt like we had never left. Did we have a summer? Where did it go so quickly? Are we truly back to homework and projects and the grind?

Yes....yes we are.

This morning was a crazy rush of herding kids out the door at the appropriate hour. But we all made it, and even more shocking--I got pictures. Let's take a look at my lovelies and their favorite things at this point in time.

Can't believe they are all getting so big. I am slightly in denial about Daisy being in school all day, but I do like that she can ride the bus with her sisters. Aren't they so cute waiting for the bus?

I would like to say that Pearl and I had a fantastic day of bonding, but instead I went to Education week. In fact, this will be an insane week of running away at every possible moment to go to classes. Don't worry, I deliberately came home in the afternoon to welcome children with fresh baked cookies. This made me feel less guilty when I wasn't home to tuck them in tonight. Pearl and I will have to do some extra bonding next week.

In case you were wondering my burn is doing much better. Dad, I can't thank you enough for the Carrasyn gel. It was a life saver. My arm looked so good the second day, and didn't hurt at all. There is still a blister that could potentially pop, but I am being careful. It hasn't slowed me down hardly at all.

And now I must run to bed in order to get up and do it all again tomorrow. Phew.
