Fall Break, Day 1

 Well, it's Fall and it feels like it was Spring the last time I blogged. Sorry, I have been a very bad blogger, got some things in the works though. 

Anyway this week is Fall break and I wish I was blogging from some tropical island somewhere. But, we are here at home. So, we went on a  little photoshoot down the road for some updated pics of the kiddos! Hope it inspires you to go take some pictures, the weather is GORGEOUS! Although, the mosquitos ARE still out!!

Well, that and a little bribery for the pictures and 16 mosquito bites was it for Day 1.

HAPPY  FALL, YA'LL!

And I quote..."First Grade Rocks!!"

This was our destination this morning....

Well, actually this was! (Recognize the candy from the Jacob's guest post?)

This was one very EAGER little girl, who, actually woke up in a GOOD mood at 7:15 a.m. so that she could get there!

After all the primping took place it was time for the traditional photoshoot..

This is Kenners "pretending" as if she is about to go out the front door and we NEVER go out the front door since our car is in the garage far from the front door.  And the funny part is once I grabbed my camera this is where she went, she knows me too well!

It's just tradition...everyone of my first day of school pics are this, but we actually did go out the front door, so that's probably why ;)

OK now I feel a little silly

Ok last posing pic...we had to go we were running late...I can get carried away!

This is her actually arriving at school, not my front door : )

And we have arrived...1st Grade was finally here, YIPPPEEE!

Grace was there (the BFF and first cousin) who hugged her like she had not seen her in a decade, when actually she saw her less than 12 hours before this...soooo sweet!

A few more hugs, she actually hadn't seen these girls all summer...they really did miss each other!

Thats her way back in the corner waving BYE BYE...that was a hint for me to PAALEASE quit taking pictures

Daddy and Eli wouldn't have missed this for the world, ok maybe Eli ;)

We have come to the best part...

After Daddy picked her up at school, which was a surprise...She comes flying through the door saying "First Grade Rocks"....Words I pretty much loved to hear...maybe she will wake up tomorrow as eager to get to school as she did this morning.

I thought this was a perfect opportunity to get in a few jumping shots since this is how she really felt!!! Bear with me it took a couple of tries before we really got it, but it was pretty fun!

Eureka!

After bribing her with food to tell me all about it...here's the breakdown

1.She loves her teacher

2. Her words, "Mom she is sooooo nice!"

3. Gym was so fun!

4. I can't wait until tomorrow!

You just can't get better than that folks!

 She went to her room and less than 10 minutes later I found this...

One worn out First Grader ; )

Off to get ready to do it all over again
