The end of summer & 1st days of school

Took a little day trip to highcreek, just long enough to cook some hot dogs and catch a fish.

Mermaid

Finn’s 1st day of 1st grade!!  We used to always take his picture in front of the peach tree.  Wasn’t sure where to take it this year.  Next year, we’ll have a baby apple tree so that’ll be a good place.

I was worried how this little lady would do when Finn went back to school.  They have been inseparable this summer.  Luckily, her school started 2 weeks later, and we are all settling in to the new school-time schedule.

Last few times to enjoy the pool.

Then it was Burgundy’s turn.

She picked this outfit out herself.  As she has pretty much every day since.  Such a little fashionista.

My school!

Here she is in her slippers.  When they get to school, they put on slippers.  I love that part.  Something warm & cozy and also a mindset change of, ok now I am here.  Just like Mr. Rogers.

The tiny bathroom, complete with tiny toilet.  So fun.  Her first day of school, she just loved it.  No tears when I left.  For either of us.  She was so ready for school.  Her only problem was when I would come to pick her up.  She didn’t want to leave!

My babies are growing up!
