Thank you Jesus, School is in Session
Well it's official, I'm old. I could ignore the crows feet and the slight fading of my features. I could ignore that my metablism is slowing down, I could also ignore that my eyesight and hearing are leaving me.
I can't ignore that my youngest started kingergarten today. OMG.
She picked out her own clothes, she decided on her own hairstyle and she was nervous "cause I want my teacher to like me and to make new friends". Damn, she's more articulate than I am.
So Princess stepped in and offered some sisterly advice. You know since she is a pro at this school thing. Seriously.....1. If you go to the potty always make sure your skirt isn't tucked into your panties.
2. Never eat the healthy stuff in your lunch
3. Talk cool
So The Man came home from work and I went late into work, to see my girls off. (He's awful grizzly but it's hunting season, should I say more?)
And since Duchess told me specifically that I should "do my hair" I did my hair. Cause I refuse to embarrass my girls, well............okay, I refuse to unintentionally embarrass my girls...that's better. So I got me some Princess hugs, which is rare cause she keeps her distance now that she's growing up and all.
Not to be left out, I got me some Duchess hugs too.........
The Man just couldn't resist either, except he did it in front of the school......heaven forbid. Poor Princess was beat red.
So Princess left us to go "gaggle" with the girls and we escorted Duchess to her door. Except it wasn't open yet so we went to watch her play.
And play........................................
Until it was time to forcefully take her back to the edge of the playground so he wouldn't miss the bell....................
Where she promptly made a break for it and played some more......... 
But finally we got her in her classroom. Where she was at a table with another kid from daycare. Sweet. Friends...............until Duchess just looked at her and turned around. Said the kid eats boogers.............um, sweetie so do you.........never mind.

Awww. I have my First Day Back to School pictures up today too. Man, we're getting old.
But I couldn't behappier to have them back in school.
Oh man she looks so grown up.... what happened to my baby? Okay so she is very tall for her age as she stands next to sister.
Love the red face and the way the man did that in front of the school...
You all look outstanding.
One more week here until school starts. Can't wait
you have such an adorable family!!! you better still be blogging when those girls are 16 and trying to date. i HAVE to know how the man handles that!!
You have such a beautiful family. Everyone looked really happy for the first day of school. It is sad though when the youngest one is off. But your hair does look good, great job Mom. :-)
Can't wait to hear how their first day was. :-)
She looks so eager to start school....such a blessing instead of her crying the whole way (that's what my youngest did to me in Preschool...broke my heart).
Yippee! Back to school! Love it! I'm at work all day but I love knowing they're butts are sitting still somewhere and on a schedule! You know what I mean?? You have a very cute fam!
