Finally- back in school.

We finished summer strong, it seemed most of our summer was chill, laid back, no real urgency to be anywhere, until the last two weeks. We tried to cram in as much as we possibly could, until they finally went back to school. 

Piper's first day was great! She was so excited to go back to school and be with her friends. She went to school with a mask on, but when I picked her up, it was off. She had a great day and hardly looked back when I dropped her off. The most special part was that we got to go as a whole family since Sully and Greta didn't start until the following day. We were all so proud of the littlest sis on her first day of school. 

Sully and Greta started on Friday. Sully was absolutely thrilled to get back to school. When I had him help me with chores around the house before school started, she would complain and say, "ugh, mom, why can't we skip this and get back to school today!?" Greta was a little quieter, but assured me she was excited and ready to go back. The morning of the first day she was too nervous to eat her breakfast and had just a few tears but walked in brave and ready to tackle the day. The kids are walking in as they arrive to school so there isn't as much commotion on the playground and crowds are smaller which I think is actually going to be great for her once she gets in the swing of things. 

They got off the bus happy and had great days. They both really like their teachers and have a few familiar faces in their classes. We are optimistic for a great year ahead and will do our best to prepare for whatever covid has to throw our way.

I love how Sully steps up to the plate for Greta
when she needs it the most. 

The best time of the year for bouquets.
