First Day of Second Grade

Yesterday’s girls day while Jackson was at his first day of preschool, was very relaxing and long over due for this mom and her girl. But all summers must come to an end. So today, Ellie put on the new dress we bought, headed back to school and started her second grade year. In the car on the way she said that today was going to be AWESOME! She even found the front of the line to head in to the school again. 

After finding her friends and showing them her new upgrades in her mouth, the bell rang and we watched her go on her way. It is so hard to believe sometimes that she is already in second grade. We are so proud of the little lady she is becoming and we are so glad that she finds such great excitement from going to school. 

So What’s A Mom to Do?

Now that both kiddos are off on their school adventures, the big question comes up as to what is a mom going to do with all this free time? I suppose I could go home, miss them something terrible, clean the house, catch up on my long list of work — but nah, not today on the first day of school. A mom should really find a group of like minded moms who don’t mind missing a completely perfect day sewing something, and head out on a boat to float ALL day long, well at least most of the day until we all have to head back into town and pick up the kids at school. All that other stuff, I’ll get to it tomorrow.
