BACK TO SCHOOL

When I got home this morning, I walked in to 3 VERY excited kids. The first day of school is a HUGE deal at our house!!! Last night we had our annual Back To School Fashion Show. Every year, the kids put on a fashion show for Daddy and show off all of their new school clothes. Chris totally plays it up too. This year he put on some techno dance music for them to walk down the runway to. The girls REALLY get into it, but in the past, Preston hasn't. However this year, he rocked the runway. He was dancing and striking poses the whole time. It was hilarious. After our fashion show, we usually go out for ice cream. This year we were really pressed for time so we just had ice cream at home then it was baths and bed!
This morning the kids got to pick their favorite breakfast (french toast) and then we got ready for the big day. Preston's first day was actually on Tuesday, but he still had fun getting ready just like the girls did. Once everyone was ready, we walked up to the new bus stop and then Preston and I drove to the school to meet the bus there. (yes I know I'm a nerd for doing this but I don't care!) The girls had a great time. Morgan had a small mishap in PE, but was able to turn the day around anyway. Preston had a great day at preschool.
I can't believe how big they are getting. My babies aren't babies anymore. On one hand this totally breaks my heart on the other hand, I'm thoroughly enjoying watching them grow and experience new things. (For the record: these were not my first choices for the first day of school outfits. The girls picked these and there was no talking them out of it!)
