The Freckled Bug

My little petunia had her first day at preschool and of course, she loved it.  She had a great time there last year and I knew she was ready to go back when she said, "Mom, I want to go see all of my friends!"
They have a summer program where they go for one week in the summer, but it wasn't enough for her!...

It seems as if this year, the first day of school was much more anticipated than last.
Last year, both of my girls went to new schools (for them anyway) and of course, there was a little bit of anxiety.  This year, they were excited!
Thank goodness, my big girl got a great teacher (I heard you couldn't go wrong with the second grade teachers at her school.  Phew!)...

I've been out of the loop for a while, but I am here to do some catching up!  We tried our best to have a lot of fun before the kids went back to school, and I think we succeeded!
The weekend before school started, we decided at the last minute to surprise our girls and drive to Dallas....

Monday is the big day around here.  Another school year will begin.  Yesterday, we were demon dialing the school because they printed the list to let us know what teacher our children will be assigned to.
Tonight, we go for "Meet the teacher".
The other day, I found a cute idea at Some Days You Gotta Dance.  Paige works in a school and found an "emergency kit" on her desk while preparing for her school year....
