First Day of Preschool

Okay, so I finally got a new header--how do you like it? My mom says it is perfect--a little wild like my life! I have to agree. Before I talk about school, can I show you this picture of Emma. She is so into make-up. I walk into the living room yesterday and she has pulled my purse off the counter, grabbed my make-up bag and opened up some lip gloss. "My Make-Up" she says. Yikes...she is really into it. I am having to hide my purse because she is obsessed with it. Pretty cute but a little messy. Look at what a great job she did putting her lipstick on!

Today Luke and Emma started school. This is Emma's first year of preschool and she was so excited. All morning she walked around saying "school". I thought I would be so good and get a "first day of school" picture, but as you can see, I had a hard time getting them to look at the camera at the same time.

I think Emma felt so big walking in. She insisted she carry her lunchbox and backpack (which combined probably weigh as much as she does). She just walked right in and didn't look back. I was so proud of her. I am excited for her to make friends and have fun at school all year. Luke knew half of his class and acted like this was old hat. I think he had a good day but in typical boy fashion, when asked what he did today, he said they really didn't do anything. I had to chuckle.

I really enjoyed the first day back. While I have loved summer, it was nice to have a few hours to myself. I got to play tennis, go the book store, run a few errands and come back and enjoy the quiet of my house for a little bit. I am always glad to pick them up and miss them when they are gone, but it sure is nice to have some me time every now and then. People always say the first day of school is the most wonderful day of the year...I don't know about that but it sure was nice!
