Yes my friends, today felt like Fall! And I can't be happier to see it coming!!!
We are all about Fall. And why not be?? The colors are amazing, the smells are divine, the weather is wonderful, the clothes are cuter, the food is funner (yes I know that's not a word), the holidays are more magical, and Fall just kind of makes the family feel a little cozier and cuddlier, don't you think? I feel the most motivated and productive in the Fall. It's just such a happy time.
Speaking of happy times. This morning we sent our little Miss Brin off to her first day of "school"!
Brinlee has several little friends she knows from Nursery and a few weeks ago a couple of the other moms asked me if I would be interested in Joy School. I of course said yes. I happen to be a Joy School graduate myself. My awesome mom did it for us as kids and I have some very fond memories of it. So we got the program and got started today! She was beyond excited. She picked out her own clothes, and had them all laid out the night before. Such a kid thing to do.
She came home all smiles telling me all about the rules they have, and the songs they sing, and the things they learned. She did tell me that she's a doctor now, like daddy, since she's been to school... guess we'll have to clarify a few things.
McKenna got into the "First Day of School" spirit too, of course. Doesn't a new pair of shoes just scream "Fall"? I drug her all over running errands for the 2 and 1/2 hours Brinlee was gone. She's a fun, goofy little buddy :)
In a couple weeks it will be our turn in the rotation to host Joy School at our house. We'll see if Brinlee handles that as well. But so far, she loves it!
"Oh Boy! I've got Joy!"
Picture number two is a replica of Tim on his last day in Primary. He stood up with his arms upstretched calling out, "whoo hoo".
ReplyDeleteSo sad to see them grow up. And so happy to see them grow up at the same time.
