PTA, School Daze and Braces...

I really am in a DAZE that school has started already! No way! And that I have a 5th Grader....AAAAGH! And not only a 5th grader but one with braces.
PTA is of course crazy (speaking of crazy, I am PTA President for those who did not know) but hopefully it will calm down (yea right)! I just realized that the last time I was loca enough to do the PTA President thing in California, I had HALF as many children and 100% in school (well Cameron was in Pre-school but that helped). Wish me luck!

Bailey was SOOOOO excited to get her braces on and could not stop talking about them and telling everyone she saw. She had a hard time deciding which color to get but finally decided on a solid pink (sometimes they do 2 colors). She actually looks really cute and OLDER which is scary for me. NO GROWING UP!

And the first day of school...what a riot. It is of course all about WHAT TO WEAR! The girls laid out their outfits the night before, shoes and all. They were both up at about 6:45 am working on their HAIR, did their chores and were ready to get on the bus at about 7:30...ONE hour before the bus actually arrives! Classic first day of school. We did have a bonus because Maama and Bhampa were there to share it with us. So fun. And helpful!

It is now just 2 days later (school started Wednesday) and we ALREADY almost missed the bus this morning! Hummm...school days.

Here's the neighborhood lining up for the bus. Can you believe that this one bus stop fills the entire bus...and it is only for about 10 houses. SCARY!

Good-bye 5th Grade Bailey...

And here is cute Morgan getting ready for her Pre-school open house. It was such a thrill for her that she FINALLY got to put on her backpack (filled with who knows what) and go to school like her big sisters. Soooooo Cute--even though it was just an Open House and Pre-school does not start for another week, it was still her favorite day ever!
Oh how they grow!
