Mourning my Mornings

So knowing that kindergarten was quickly approaching I realized that I wasn't as sad to see Emma-Jean off to "big kid school" as I thought I might be. She is definitely ready for it. I was really lamenting my lazy lazy mornings. Really this summer we had no plans no schedules. Last summer we had park days, swimming days, library days etc.. But perhaps my bulging belly and swelling feet had something to do with my acquired "lets sleep in and watch cartoons". Maybe that's just my excuse?! Anyhow the thought of getting up at 6 am to get myself and three kids ready and out the door so my oldest can be to school by 7:45 frightens me. This morning wasn't so bad. Most likely because Emma was excited to get up and go to school, more likely because Dad went in to work late so he could see his little girl off, which means I had help. Tomorrow will be the real test. Of course I can't complain this is much better then afternoon kindergarten especially considering Memaw will be taking Emma to school once we get this drop off thing down. WHOOHOOO I'll only have to have Emma-Jean ready bright and early the rest of us can still be sleepy eyed and in PJ's. At least until Brennon starts preschool....

So here's my little babe. Not so little and looking very much the adorable little blond prep in her school colors!

Do you see Emma off to go slide? Do you see other moms hanging out with their kids? Do you see me anywhere? I was told by another mom that we could stay and walk them into their classrooms since it was the first day. So I asked her if she wanted me to stay with her or go.

"you can go home". Gulp!

So thats Emma off on her own, and me taking the picture off on my way home!
