First Days of School 2012-2013

I'm so far behind on blogging...I figured I better just get the basics in. If time permits more detail later...great. But since that seems unlikely....here it is:

Addysen - 8th Grade (currently playing volleyball)
Cannon - 7th Grade (currently playing football)
Brynnley - 3rd Grade (starting piano lessons and playing soccer)
Kenzie - 1st Grade (starting piano lessons and playing soccer)
Cambrie - staying at home with mom.

 The flower bouquet we picked for Kenzie's teacher while riding bikes.

 Kenzie put on bright red lip gloss right before we tried to get a picture. Despite our best efforts to scrub it off…she looked like her lips were bleeding. She and I had her orientation at 2…so we went for a bike ride at the Metro Parks this morning. She wanted to pick some flowers for her teacher…so the bouquet is what we came up with. Personally, I thought it looked awesome. I was tempted to keep it for myself. :) All in all - a good first day. The buses were 30 minutes late….so Addysen's hair was flat after standing outside in the fog and mist for that long. Sitting at alphabetized lunch tables is highly annoying to both A and C. Cannon's team won their football game 26-6. (Addysen's volleyball team barely managed a win yesterday…it was UGLY.) Brynnley had so much fun at school that she didn't want to come home. Cambrie keeps asking when she gets to go to school. Kenzie can't wait for her first "real" day tomorrow. It is going to be a long one for her. (Just a side note…trying to get her natural smile is really tricky these days…as you'll note in the photos.)
