Today my kids went back to school. Well, my girls did and the rest of the neighborhood went with them. I know I'm not the only parent to be glad to see their kids go back to school. We take a lot of flack for being happy about it - for wanting our kids to go back but I think it's a GOOD thing.
I love my kids being in school. I love the predictability of my days when they are in school. I love routine and schedules. I love making them breakfast and sending them off to school with their lunch and some prayers. I love greeting them when they come home with a snack and to hear about their days. I love missing them while they are gone. I love looking forward to their return.
Them going to school gives me a chance to miss them, and I sorely need that. So, while they're away today I will work, get my chores done, chase the boys and make some awesome One Fish Two Fish cupcakes. And I can't WAIT to hear how their first days of 5th and 7th grade went.
Oh, and the rest of the neighborhood kids, too.

Oh good grief, Sienna has gotten so t-a-l-l!! I hope they had a great first day! Love the outfits, especially Cara's socks! That girl has style!
I feel the same way you do. Mine went back last week. Only I have no more little ones to chase around, and I don't know what to do with my time. Enjoy missing them. They sure are cute!
Awwwww, they are so cute!
I love it when mine go back to school as well. Especially my boyfriend!! Lol! It gives you a chance to get shit done FINALLY!! My youngest boys are in 5th and 7th grades as well but they aren't as stylish as your girls! Lol. Enjoy your "free" time!!
Look how tall they've gotten!!! Happy back to school, hope they both have a wonderful day :)
