My daughters are growing up

I realized I hadn't posted about the kids back to school. Most importantly I hadn't documented on here the back to school pictures here. My oh my, how much kids grow each year.

The first day of school this year it was raining cats and dogs out side, we attempted good first day of school pic but humidity and rain plus foggy glasses isn't the best combo, but we got them, and made it to school only half soaking. LOL.

I love seeing how much they spring up each year!

Don't worry about the terrible collage pics, it is what it is, and it gets the job done. :)

Sweet Amelia girl. Such a big 2nd grader. It's hilarious to compare her 2nd grade pic with Evelyn's 2nd grade pic. 😂😂😂 These girls are polar opposites in every way possible.

Oh Evelyn. She hates smiling for pictures and I'm so confused by it, but its who she is. 😄 At least she learned what to do with her hands while getting her picture taken. She is growing into a fun smart young lady.

Their individuality is really blossoming especially how different their styles are. They have a love for pattern mixing that makes my heart swell.

Summer Break Is Over

Well we made it through summer break.

The girls started school this past Monday.

They woke up around 5 am and got ready right away and were walking around with their heavy school supply filled backpacks for 2 hours.  They tried to be super quiet for my sake, and not bother me cause they know I don't get much sleep at night yet. I guess they played with Leo in the crib next to me for awhile so he would be quiet for me too.  They are such sweet girls and I will admit I do miss them during the day.  They are so willing to help with Camden and Leonard.

Whoops kinda got carried away there for a bit.
 
They are loving school, sure its only been a week, but I'm hoping that they continue to love it as the year goes on.

Camden had to get in on all the picture taking action before the first day too.  

I love the first day of school pictures cause its the perfect time to compare at how much my girls have grown and this past year they have grown a LOT! 

It literally blows my mind!! I know kids grow fast but just seeing this jump is unreal! My grown up girls!

four and more

I've been working with Evelyn (my oldest) with developing some more skills for her upcoming adventures with school.

Today she learned the correct way to write the letter E.

I now know with out a doubt (i knew a bit before, but now 100% confirmed) that i could never ever home school my kids.  I would go absolutely crazy if i couldn't send them to school.

she has got some serious selective hearing and she has not selected me to be one she hears.
"School Time" is fine in theory is a wonderful idea, but it's just not what we expected. I'll keep on keepin on, i won't give up, any learning time is better than no learning time.

I applaud all you mommas out there that can home school your kids. You are doing great work! Just not for me kind of work. :)



day 4 - a habit that you wish you didn’t have
many, but we'll just stick with one.
Biting my nails.  i'll go so long and do such a great job, then a slow, or maybe a stressful day comes and i start nibbling, gah!!!
