First day of school 2015

Lily started school the day after Labor day. Much later than most kids in the country I take it. Personally, I was relieved to have a longer summer to settle in to our new home. I could go with a little more summer even, but alas - it is not to be...and the weather is turning on us. Hope our heater doesn't give out on us! We are so happy to be in our own home - finally!!! But I will expound on that another time. I have been too busy trying to make the house homey to blog much, but I wanted to share a few photos of the girls for my family. 

Lily's First Day of 2nd Grade!

 Sierra doing a little school with me at home

Lily started at a new school again this year. Her teacher seems very nice and she seems to be adjusting well. Lily rode the bus for the first time with a bigger girl friend from our neighborhood. She took it twice but decided to drive again this year for now as she's one of the few smallest kids on the bus. Lily bonked right between her eyes on a metal handle on our shoe cabinet the night before school started hence her little scrape. She had a big bump, but you can't even tell now. Healed up right in time for picture day :)

I've been trying to do a little preschool time with Sierra each day. The first was the most successful so far. Makes me look like a pinterest mom! Just adapted an idea from Lily's mommy & me preschool of yore. The other times have been even more thrown together. But I'm trying to get it consistent. We still have a few major projects to do around the house and the day just flies by before it's time to get Lily again. Hoping to step it up a notch once things get more settled around here. If things ever settle :)

I was going through deleting bad photos and came across these tonight from the night before school started. (That's a little stick-on ice pack on Lily's forehead.) Anyway, they made me laugh so I had to share them. I love these two so much! They are sweet little characters :)

Sierra's look kills me!

 Lily did the curlers. The whole time they were posing so I couldn't help but think of this old picture of me & luckily found it already on my computer. We look a little bit alike, eh?

 

Some things never change!
