This and That...

Summer is officially over in our house. Tay started her first day of sixth grade yesterday and Tierney started her first day of first grade today. I am sad for the school year to start. We have had such a good summer with the girls and I hate the thought of trying to enforce regular bedtimes and nightly routines. I took the past few days off to spend them with the girls. Monday we went to Backbone to celebrate Grandma Jan's 70th birthday and Tuesday we spent all day at the pool. Yesterday we met with Tierney's teacher and then went and played at McDonald's in the afternoon. I have pictures of the girls' first day and from Monday that I will try to get posted.

Tay said her first day was "boring". Apparently they spent the entire day reading the handbook. Tierney had a good first day. She is excited about the teacher she got and happy about the boys in her class. She is a little sad that none of her good girl friends are in her class but we are trying to encourage that she make more friends! One good thing she said yesterday when we were talking about school starting was that she "can't go to school with naked nails". Ha I love that girl she has to have her nails painted for school!

Tonight we were talking about school and it came out that Tierney has already visited the nurse this year! That kid loves the nurse. She says she got hit in the head with a jump rope and had to get an ice pack. I can't wait to hear the "real story" from her teacher. That girl keeps us on our toes!
