Back to School time started with open house tonight. I just can't get on board with the idea that the summer is over already. Sad! We had such a great summer & it would be so nice to have just a few more weeks. Reality is it is not happening & the girls will go back to school next Tuesday. As much as I love having them home in the summer, they are all ready to go back. A little bit of a schedule & routine will be good for all of us. Open house was a little different this year with Marin starting at the intermediate school. {Insert my sad face.} We started at the elementary school tonight with Maeve being the first stop. Nothing unfamiliar in this classroom...

Maeve is following in her sisters footsteps with Mrs. V. She is a childhood friend of mine & we adore her so much. So excited for Maeve and all the fun she'll have this year as a first grader.

She was most excited for her desk & all the friends she has in her classroom. She is going to love every minute of it.

Next was Margaux's 3rd grade room with Mrs. E. {Marin also had her, so another repeat teacher for our family!} Somehow 3rd grade makes her all of the sudden seem like such a big girl. So many more choices in the classroom & no desks! Such a fun concept, the kids can choose where they wan to sit & there are so many different areas to hang out. She's going to do great.

Margaux also has a great classroom stocked full of many of her best friends. Hayden included! We'll see how these two do with another year together in the same room. Hopefully they can focus on something other than pigs! Quick pic with her fav twins Hudson/Camden & by her coat hook.  

Then we headed to Marin's new school to show everyone her home room classes & of course her very own locker!!! The excitement for this is through the roof...

 Marin got to practice & decorate her locker a week or so ago when the kids had an orientation day, but the littles could not wait to see it & give it a try. She got it open on her first attempt, so that was promising. Hoping she won't have any issues next week!

It is all decorated so cute. Lots of pink, teal, and rose gold. {Her "theme" as she likes to call it.} These lockers are a big deal! It was very clean, organized & cute. We'll see if it stays that way! No photo of Marin with her teachers. Sadly, I think those days are over. There were so many kids/families around, I was shocked she let me take her picture by the locker! Can't embarrass her, she is growing up so fast. Although I think she is a little anxious about the new school, I know she will adjust quickly & love it. So much more freedom!

Exciting days ahead for all three of our chicks. Next week will be quiet in the house. Always takes a bit to get used to. Next up, 1st day of school! xoxo
