Our babies are finally back in school. Classes were scheduled to start last Wednesday but a tanker fire in downtown Lincoln forced an evacuation of most of the area and pushed the opening of school back to today. They were so cute this morning and even though I'm so excited for them, I already miss them like crazy. Jacob has even been wandering through the house saying, "Miss sisters." Even though we had almost everything ready to go, this morning still felt like running a marathon. We all need to get back into our morning routine.
I tried to make the girls a special "back-to-school" lunch and was aiming for "The Frog Prince" theme. I included the story in the girls' lunch box to hopefully help clue them in. I don't think my frogs look much like frogs. :) Oh well, it's the thought that counts, right?
We put the teacher's gifts together in preparation for classes to start last Wednesday. I didn't put drainage holes in the silver pots and so I'm afraid to say our succulents were beginning to look a little worse for wear. We made an extra to take to Anna's teacher from last year. She is just so sweet and she and Anna were pen pals this summer.
This may be my favorite picture from the day. Jacob saw the girls holding up the chalkboard and so he tried to do the same...but upside down. I love his grin. Don't worry, I did comb his hair before we left for school!
We're looking forward to a great school year!

Happy school year! Love the family pictures and the grade on the chalkboard. :)
Beautiful pics as always! I'm dying to know just exactly what all is in that lunch box? It is beautiful!
