And just like that summer was over. Summer 2013 was the best summer we have had since Zhara started school. 2010 we moved from Scottsdale to Tucson and moved from homes to hotels all summer. 2011 we bought a house. 2012 Charlotte was born. I enjoyed the girls so much this summer. I enjoyed all of our trips and day to day laughter and fun that we had. We started school a week earlier this year and it was the perfect time because everyone was just starting to get on each other's nerves but we weren't quite to the point where we didn't want to be around each other. It was great to have a back to school night the week school started. It helped calm the nerves of the girls. Alyssa wasn't quite as nervous because her teacher was Zhara's first grade teacher. Zhara was really nervous about her teacher because she had "heard" things about her and she felt so much better after meeting her and seeing her friendly smile. Charlotte was all ready to be a big girl!!!
We celebrated the last day of summer with a movie and some big girl shopping time with our friend Faith. I took the girls to see the last summer movie Rio and we had lunch at the mall and did some shopping at Claire's for some hair accessories. Then we headed home to get all the rest of our school supplies ready for the big day.
August 1 2013 ....no better way to start the school year off with a healthy breakfast of doughnuts
How in the world do I have a 2nd & 4th grader? Wasn't it just yesterday we were walking Zhara into her 1st grade class and David told Alyssa "good thing we are having a baby because next year Mom would be all alone"????
We were quite the sight....the girl's friend Faith stayed the night with us for the first day of school and then last minute one of my friends needed me to watch her daughter so we loaded them all up and walked into school. We got some good looks as David was surrounded by 6 girls. I loved having my girls home and I will miss them but I am excited to see them grow this school year. Here's to the good times and the bad!
