Back to School!!!

Can't believe summer is already over and it's time for the kids to head back to school. It's even harder to believe that I have a first and second grader! How is that possible?

 Allison has been super excited about going back to school for a few weeks. TJ not so much, but he warmed up to the idea after Howdy Night (meet the teacher). And it helps that they both got the teacher they were hoping for!

The first day went off without a hitch and they were even ready about 20 minutes early- I'm guessing we'll all start moving a little slower though as the newness of the school routine wears off. But, hopefully Daddy's checklist of things to do to get ready in the morning will help keep them on track!
She woke up with the alarm at 6:20am excited and chatty, but those sleepy eyes weren't fully awake. It took about 4 attempts to get a pic with them open! 

My morning boy a little more awake but not near as excited or chatty.

Ready to walk out the door. TJ wanted to show off his scissors. He got a purple pair in his pre-ordered supply pack and he was having none of that (and the stores only had purple and pink) so Daddy painted them camo for him. Very fitting! Alli is starting the year out with a few less teeth than she had last year.



My sweet girl! She loves her fancy first day dress from Justice. She had been begging me to go shopping there all summer- thankfully we hit it during the 40% off everything sale!
That's my TJ! He can be a handful sometimes, but I love this kid!
 
At the school and ready to start a new year at Helotes Elementary! Bulldogs Rock!

Wow- 6:20 is so early! We get up at about 7 and I'm sure that will get a little later! Love the scissors & Alli's first day dress!

And of course TJ looks very handsome, too. :)
