Here's the annual first day of school picture... 
Jessica 5th grade, Austin 6th grade, Lauren 2nd grade
I can't believe I have a son in 6th grade! I remember 6th grade! Some of my Facebook friends are from 6th grade! Crazy. Austin was feeling a little sick the first day of school. He wasn't excited to get back to school and homework, but he couldn't wait for football to start!
Jessica was excited to get back to school to see her friends, but was sad that neither of her two best friends would be in her class this year. Her 2nd grade teacher is teaching 5th grade this year and will be her teacher again. She really liked her before and is excited to have a teacher that she already knows she likes.
As for me, I'm always bummed when school starts! Most of my friends are excited to have the kids out of the house again, but I'm dreading being grounded to a schedule. I love our casual summer schedule. I love sleeping in. I love having dinner at 5:30 some days and 8:00 on others. I love being able to take off and go... just to where ever, when ever we want. I love not hurrying the kids in the morning. I love not having to wake them up before they are ready to get out of bed. I love not worrying about homework. I love not having to be totally aware of the time all the time... Ahh, I will miss the summer.

Lauren is a social butterfly and is just excited to see her friends every day!

I am looking forward to the fun projects they bring home. I am looking forward to seeing them grow up a little more this year. It always amazes me how much they learn and what they are capable of. I'm really exited to watch Austin play football and cheer Jessica on as she runs cross country, but that really all the good things I can think of. Oh, and the school carnival. Haha! I don't know why, but I really enjoy it every year!

You go Tara!! You are so good at doing regular posts. I am inspired to do one tonight; check out my blog tomorrow!
So I finally decided to leave a comment so you can see that I do occasionally check out your blog, lol! I am excited for school to be back in session, and do not like it for all the reasons you say, but get stressed in the summer worrying that if we get too far off a schedule it makes for a worse transition back into school. I guess I just try to dive into whatever schedule presents itself and look forward to mastering it. No matter the season, there are always issues to iron out! Hey thank you so much for coming to the gcg meeting! My one and only day to dress professional, lol! Remind me to tell you about my kids' reaction!
