And They're Off!

....To school, that is.

Today is the first day of school.  I can't believe that Kai is in second grade and Malia is in first.  For the first time, they are both in full time school.  I thought this phase of life would be hard for me, but I have to admit that I'm pretty excited about having a little time for myself again.  After nearly 9 years of pregnancy, infants, toddlers, preschoolers and kindergartners, I finally have a little bit of freedom again.


Here they are, waiting at the bus stop:

I have no idea why Malia is making such a silly face!
Our friends, Elise and Adam
Daddy, waiting in the shade (with his phone, of course!)
 
And waiting to go into school:

This is the 4th year that Kai and Jaclyn will be in the same class
Malia and her friend, Jory



So the question begs......What do I do now?  The house needs some serious cleaning and I have a ton of projects to work on.  I haven't actually read a book in months or wandered around a store with no time limits and no one wanting to "go home now."  Wait!  I think I hear my knitting bag calling me.....Gotta run!
