4 Days...

4 days and counting until school starts...

All 40 pencils have been sharpened... a variety of school supplies bought... new first day clothes picked out and are ready to wear.

This cutie girl is VERY excited to be starting 3rd grade...

She's been counting down the days and getting more excited with each passing one. She can not wait to see old friends, learn multiplication tables and cursive writing. She can not wait to wear her new Twinkle Toe shoes and new school clothes and is most concerned about how her hair should look on the first day. When asked if she wanted us to walk her in to her classroom with her supplies the first day she said a big, "NO!" with a geesh are you kidding look.

This cute little Bug is NOT excited at all to be starting 1st grade...

He is dreading the countdown that is happening... in fact he told me so matter-a-factly today, "Oh, I'm not going to school Mommy!"

I'm preparing myself already for those first few weeks... they are going to be rough and heart wrenching as I'm going to have to shove him in the door and walk away while his tears are streaming down his face. He's not much of a Mama's Boy in the sense of cuddling up and lovey but he does like his time around his Mama and our fun times of curling up on the couch with popcorn and movies which happened so often this summer and in the afternoons when kindergarten was out.

So were trying to stay positive and mentioning all the fun things like lunch at school and 3 recesses that go along with being a big first grader.
