First Day of School!!!!

Today was the first day of school for my 5th and 3rd grader (gasp). Peter and Grace were both bemoaning the end of summer, EVEN with a final trip to the water park on Saturday (good time, and Grace rode Daredevel Drop, 70 feet of vertical craziness).

But, as is typical, when push came to shove they were very excited. There really is just something about a brand new notebook that gets the blood flowing!

We got everything packed up and ready last night, and they both more or less popped out of bed this morning, and were out at the stop with PLENTY of time to spare.

Grace has always liked getting a new outfit for the first day of school, and did again this year; Peter ordinarily doesn't, but saw a shirt he liked when we were in Target yesterday, so he actually had on a new shirt, also. And it's not even a Carolina shirt!

Here are some pictures from the bus stop (and my entryway)

Grace is ready

Peter condescends to be photographed (but he'd really rather be at the bus stop...)
