Yesterday was the first day of school. I can't believe Abby is in 4th grade and Syd is in 1st. The girls were so excited that they couldn't sleep the night before. Even though we had them in bed around 9, I don't think either one of them made it to sleep before 11. Around 10 I could hear something upstairs and opened Sydney's door to find her dancing around in the dark to Taylor Swift. She said she was just too excited to sleep. But even though she couldn't sleep, she was up and dressed, with her bed made, by 6:45.
You can totally tell the girls' different personalities from their first day outfit choices. Sydney was purple and pink and sparkles, while Abby was black and punk and rock star.
Don't you just love those gloves???
Both the girls love their new teachers and are excited for all the fun stuff they get to do this year. The highlight of Sydney's day was eating in the cafeteria....she says they have the most amazing snicker-doodle cookies. Abby loving seeing her friends from last year, but hopes her teacher doesn't talk as much tomorrow.

BLAST FROM THE PAST:
Sydney graduated from kindergarten last spring, and I realized I never posted any pictures. So while on the theme of school, I thought I'd do it today. Sydney loved kindergarten. She loved reading and writing. And really loved Mrs. Belnap.
Abby and Syd are so cute - I swear they just walked out of a "Limited Too" catalog! I cannot believe that you have two kids in full-time school. That is INSANE!
