The First Day of Non-Home School

Well, Ellie's first day of First Grade and school outside the home is in less than 8 hours. Abby will begin 3rd grade and I will experience my first day with my two older girls gone.






Ellie assured me on several occasions today that she would "think about me alot". Then she gave me a crooked & excited smile that let me know for sure that I would not cross her mind even once in the eight hours that she would be gone.
Abby reported to me in the van today that "at the park in the tunnel crawl space the worst word in cussing history is written there." Then she laughed and said, "That's pretty funny, huh, 'cussing history'." She was so proud of herself for that phrase. Like mother, like daughter....
I think they'll be fine.

Good Lord, I loved the first day of school.

And is that crayon on the DOOR? Let me guess - Lucy Grace?

What can you say about Lucy Grace? She's an artist!

And Abby using the phrase "cussing history"? That girl is going to be just like you, only more so. I cannot wait!

Hope you are doing well. We have got to talk soon!
