First Day of School

The morning began with Charles loudly repeating over (and over) "FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL!" at the top of his lungs.  (And he wonders why his daughters are so loud sometimes!)

I'm happy to report that everyone (mom included) had a good first day.  The girls were super excited to go this morning and were just as excited when they got off the shuttle this afternoon.  Some pictures from the day:

Sophie had a minor tumble off her bike after school

Showing me what she's chosen for her "About Me" bag that she's putting together for homework.  Yes, those are pictures of Carter!

After school today we went to the choir room to hear the high-schoolers practicing songs for the Sound of Music auditions that happen tomorrow.  The producer and musical director for the play took a few minutes to talk to Hannah to help her feel more at ease about playing Grethel.  She still hasn't decided whether she wants to do it.  They'll allow me to play a singing nun if that will make her feel more comfortable.  She now wants to read the script to see how much she's on stage before she makes her final decision.
