School Time

I can't believe that it is Aug 13 and the first day of school for my girls. The summer goes by so fast. At the end of the school year you have a summer planned and before you know it, it's time for back to school. Our girls were ready for it to start back for the social aspect. Each girl has some new things to look forward to this year. Our oldest is a sophomore and in Madrigals (select choir) that she is very excited to be a part of. Our middle child got to change schools and move up to the intermediate school this year. She was a lil nervous because this year they had lockers and being a new school she doesn't know where everything is and she only knows 2 kids in her class. Our middle child is also going to have to get used to getting up a whole hour earlier. This morning she was great got up took her shower and was ready to go for the bus. I am sure as the year wears on it won't be that easy to get her up but I was excited for the great start!

The last couple of days we have been getting ready for the 1st day of school. We had to go buy backpacks, school supplies, clothes and all that good stuff. Last night was another big step for our middle child. She started shaving her legs! I can't believe she is old enough for that. She had been asking since her friends had started and I didn't want her to get made fun of at school so last night she shaved her legs. Well, she actually used Veet which is kinda like Nair but it works pretty good and she is happy and so am I. That way I don't have to worry about her cutting her leg yet. She asked me if she could use Veet because a friend had and then she wouldn't cut her leg. I said absolutely, but don't worry when you cut your leg shaving you're not alone. Every girl has cut her leg shaving at some time. Her mom even cut her leg real good right before high school graduation and there is a whole scrapbook page about it :)

So, here we go another school year. Lots to learn and places to go. Here are a couple of pics.
