First Day of School

So here in TN, they do this whole thing sort of wierd. Everyone starts school on the same day, minus the kindergartners. They only go ONE day this week. They either go Tues., WEd., or Thurs., depending on their last name. I guess the idea is to have them get in small groups to get to know their teacher and know their way around the school and room and such. I guess that's good and all, but hello! School starts today and I want my son in school! hahaha.
Actually, it was a mess this morning trying to explain to him why Hailey got to go to school and he didn't. Oh well. Hulk backpack and Spongebob lunchpail will have to wait for another day.

So here are Hailey's first day pics. I"m actually VERY happy the my house is brick... makes for a nice background for pics! Isn't she adorable? I'm taking full advantage that my kids don't have uniforms.... cause in 2 years, they will. ugh.


And.... just to throw this out there for laughs- I had to take all 4 kids in to her school with me this morning. Took her to her class, then had to turn in some paperwork. I had all 4 of them trailing after me in a SWARM of kids and parents. I had to laugh. And honestly... i've never seen so many freaking parents taking their kids to school on the first day. It was a nightmare. guess everyone around here either feels the need to drop their kid off the first day, or the bus system is horrible. I'm opting for the first one. lol
