Delayed First day of School

This year has been so crazy - the winter snow, all our trips, and most recently - Hurricane Irene. We were without power from Sunday mid-day until late Tuesday Afternoon - friends of ours were without power until Friday!!! School was supposed to start on Wednesday, but didn't until Thursday - The town next to us had to postpone until the following week!

Our kids were very ready for school to start - most of them anyway . . .

photos below not in chronological order -


Two youngest getting off the bus after a fun first day.


Rebecca getting on the bus for her first day of Kindergarten!



Ready to walk down the street to the bus stop - it can't come to our house because the road down the way is still unpaved (started before hurricane, still not done!).



Big girl Alaina! She went to a new school this year -



She was so excited to start school - she planned out her outfit the week before, knew she wanted tme to 'spiral' curl her hair - She looks so grown up in this photo!



Garrett, Mr. Pessimist, of course, was not at all excited about school and refused to smile for photos on such an unhappy occaision - "No really Mom, I'm not going to smile today -"




"You can't make me smile! Ooops - "






Maybe, just maybe, it won't be so bad. We'll see. . .




Kathryn didn't miss the bus on the first day - she planned to and thought she had succeeded, but it turned around and came back for her :). So this is the hurried photo we got of her - She's no longer a little girl - all grown up this one. And we've driven her to school every morning since!
