School Rules!

It's back to business for the Texas Cuties

 This year we have a third grader and a very excited kindergartener.  Although you can't really see "excited" in these photos.  That's just Miss. Mia.  It takes some serious work to photograph a smile on that little face.

 Ali is very ready to be back in school.  As soon as we hit the front doors it was, "Ali!" "Ali!" "Look, it's Ali!".  And she takes being a big sister very seriously.  She insisted on taking Mia to kindergarten before going to her own class.

 They worked hard this summer planning their first day of school outfits.  The result was two very hip and cool students with sequined tops and "twinkle toe" shoes.  "Second day of school outfits" are already laid out and ready to go.  I love these girls.

 Just by luck of the draw, Mia has the same teacher Ali had.  We couldn't be happier!  Kindergarten is going to be great!

Once the girls were situated, we joined the other kindergarten moms and dads for a "Tears and Cheers" breakfast.  Eva seated herself with a donut and juice and said, "uh oh!  Where Ali?  Mimi have donut too?" Of course we explained that the girls were in school now and it was just going to be us for a while.  She took a long drink of OJ (I think she was actually toasting their absence!) and then smiled sweetly and said, "okay, we go park now?"
