1st day of school

Annie started 3rd grade today and was so excited! Alyse started 1st grade, therefore, got to get her cone..a german tradition. She loved it and was also excited. All the girls were up around 6:45. Way before their normal time. In fact, I'm pretty sure I haven't seen Alyse out of bed before 9 this summer! They each picked out a new outift/shoes, and were very excited to finally get to wear them. Madelyn does not start preschool until after labor day, but did not want to be left out of the festivities. She wanted to look just like Alyse. Alyse wanted poofy hair for the first day, so we braided it and left it in for 2 days to get the amazing huge poof look!! Annie's gloves were a purchase made with her own money and the minute she bought them she knew she was going to wear them on the first day of school! What to do? She loves those fish net arm bands....no she does not have casts on:)
