First Day of School 2012

Emily kept throwing reminders at me.

"Mom always does something special for the first day of school."

"I wonder what kind of treat Mom is getting us?"

"Mom, don't forget our special treat."

I picked up these cups at Walmart a couple weeks ago.

I had some notebooks on hand.

I took the leftover Swedish Fish from camping and added a quick note.

It's O"fish"al. You're a (7th, 5th, Preschooler and the cutest.)

Emily and Abby also had a chapstick and emery board.

Steve gave the girls Father's Blessings last night, including Lindley.

Such a good way to teach kids to recognize the Spirit.

It really helps the girls remember they are not alone.

I know I felt less nervous for them.

I can't believe Emily is in Jr. High.

First day of Jr High and first time she will participate in baptisms for the dead.

I can't wait to talk to her about both experiences.

Abby was excited to be the oldest kid from our family at her school.

All the extra notes.

Loved her shirt.

The chalk does not stay on very well.

She had a fun day and came home talking about being more responsible this year.

Yea!
