School Time!

Avery started the first grade this month! And Camryn started half-day 4K. So that leaves me with 3 1/2 hours every day with just Lily at home with me. I have been enjoying it. :) Here are some pictures of the girls going to school.

First off, I got to do a Bus Orientation with Camryn a week before school started. We rode the bus together to learn about bus safety and make me not so nervous about putting her on the bus every morning.

Then Avery actually had her first day of school three days before the 4K started up. So she rode the bus by herself those three days. But she’s a pro because this is her third year riding the bus. No worries.

(Look how much bigger they look than this picture last year!)

Waiting for the bus to come…

Home from her first day!

She had a good day! See that big bug bite in the middle of her forehead? Ugh. Our mosquitoes didn’t come in July like they usually do, because it was so hot and dry. But now they’re definitely here and Avery got a nasty bite the night before school started.

It was a long three days for Camryn and me. Avery gone all day, us waiting for her first day. One of the days we went in to meet her teacher, which was good. Isn’t her Minnie backpack so cute??

Then the day finally came. She was able to ride the bus with her big sister. And they wore their matching pink polka dot skirts. So cute.

And off they went…

So they’ve actually both been really enjoying school, as far as I can tell. Camryn loves to tell me about the friends she’s making and the “adventuring” she’s doing. And Avery has been playing with her BFF Jenna at recess, even though they’re in different classes this year. So far so good! My girls are growing up!
