Back to School!

So, I realize that it's a little anti-climatic to post a back to school post when we've been back at it for five weeks now, but that's how half-heartedly I work!  Madeline just offered yesterday to take over the blog, and I think I may take her up on it!  She'd been way more regular at posting than I am, I'm sure.

 Camilla has a great teacher--Mrs. Jensen.  She was teaching when I was in elementary school, though I never had her.  

In addition (get it, addition, like in math--hee, hee) to a great teacher, she has a lot of friends in her class as well.  She's obviously excited.

Eliza left her backpack in her cubby at back to school night, so all she had to bring with her were the clorox wipes that fell out of her back onto the floor of the car on back to school night.

 Hip-hip-hooray for kindergarten!

 Madeline's teacher is my old boyfriend's sister, just FYI.  She is very funny and nice.

 This is why they put her in the honors math and reading classes.

 Everyone (except Mari) was up and ready to see the darlings off on their first day.

 Natalia started preschool a week later, but since I'm blogging 5 weeks later, that hardly matters.

Natalia was a little unsure about starting preschool (I don't know why, she was going to her best friend's house!), but she has looooved it!  She comes home all giddy and silly each day.  She's a darling!

As for Anna, Mari, and I, we don't seem to be any less busy with 3 sisters missing.  Not sure why.  We get to run lots of errands and do lots of carpooling.  Good thing we love our suburban.  We spend a lot of time in it!
