First Day of Middle School

Today was the first day of middle school.

I don't know if I was more excited or Grant. ;-)

Billie has a great fashion sense.

She has picked out some really cute clothes for this school year.

We are still wearing some pants and shorts from last year.

I told her we need to save the rest of her school clothes budget for her next growth spurt.

(We did the "no heat headband curls" and I love the way it turned out.

I embedded the link below for the tutorial.

She showered yesterday morning and

then sported a "70's roller blade babe" all day

and slept in it last night.

Her hair was still curly when she got home from school.)

Grant has the fashion sense of a 7th grade boy.

Pick it up off the floor and smell it to see how smelly it is.

Camo pants are a staple in his closet.

It matches everything. :-)

On a side note and basically for my memory:

*Car pool fiasco: I ended up doing two drop offs.

The boys and then driving back to get the girls.

Got home

*burned mine and James pancakes

*the strawberry syrup exploded in the microwave

*my shin fought the dishwasher door

and the dishwasher door won

leaving a nice big scratch

and one hell of a bruise

*opened a can of soup while putting together

a crockpot dinner and sliced my pinkie finger

all of that between 8 and 12.

*Billie forgot which door i was picking her up at

so 25 minutes after school was over we finally connected

and were on our way home.

I think I'll sit on the couch the rest of the day and read a book.
