School Days, School Days. . .

School has started and we are studying and homeworking at full force. The girls love school (except for getting up in the morning) and enjoy having some sort of structure again. In an attempt to be creative I made choc. chip pancakes the first day of school (Alexa's request - she informed me that it's a tradition and I make them every year.) So I decided to document what grade they were in by shaping their pancakes into their grade. Here they are looking excited, nervous and a little tired.

"What's all the fuss about? Can I go back to bed?"All ready to go and early enough to take pictures. Way to go girls.
Alexa - always a little nervous on the first day of school. She is in 5th grade now. How did that happen? She told me she didn't want to go back to school because she didn't like it. I asked why and she said that the work keeps getting harder and the teachers keep getting meaner.
Olivia - 2nd grade and ready to go. She is always so easy going with out a care in the world. She has been so good these first frew weeks of coming home, eating a snack and without being told, runs right up to her room and does her homework. I am loving it. Today after I checked her homework which was adding 3 numbers together she told me that she really likes doing that math. Who knows, maybe she'll take after her Aunt Maren.Maya - First day of kindergarten. She was so excited and couldn't wait to get to class. She's been ready for about a year now but the school wasn't ready for her. After school before I could even ask how her day was she ran in kicked off her shoes and yelled, "I don't have any homework."
