It's about time! Halloween's almost here and I haven't even gotten to the first day of school yet! I'm a little behind to say the least. This is actually the 2nd day of school here. Sadly Brynn was sick the first day of school. She woke up with tears in her eyes saying she just couldn't do it. But the next day she was back at it and 5th grade has been nothing but work, work ever since! Brynn seems to be busy 24/7. Between a big homework load and her ballet schedule, she rarely has any down time. Although she remains helpful and fantastic to be around at home. Don't know what I'd do without her! Kira has adjusted nicely to 1st grade. Going to school all day didn't seem too much of an adjustment for her, she just loves to learn! She has become quite the little reader too. I can't keep her stalked with enough books. We have actually told her to slow down so she'll understand what she's reading. Kira has also started taking piano lessons and remains at"Up with Kids" a singing and acting group.
Here is the official first day of school. Kira had to take 3 things that described her. She picked: a thermometer, because she wants to be a doctor someday, a microphone because she loves, loves to sing and the Book of Mormon because she told me she liked to learn about Jesus. Another little side note about her outfit. You can't see them but her little capris were not so little that day and I couldn't figure why. She kept pulling them up by the handful, and saying," mom these are way too big." I told her to just ignore it and sent her off to school. When she got home Brynn said, "Mom, did you know those were my capris that Kira has on?" Oh my goodness, am I that dense. Poor thing had to go all day hiking her sister's size 8's up onto her waist!
Cute sisters! Alayna was very sad each time these girls got out of the car to go to school. And she still is!
Alayna looks huge next to Kira!
One last thing...
A few Sundays ago I was giving Alayna a bath and she would not get in without her stuffed animals. "Just put them in" said Seth. So Alayna's loveys had a bath too that day and then spent many hours out drying in the sun.
