Back to School Nights

Last Tuesday, Ariel was super nervous about going to school.  The first day it was only the freshman.  This day all the kids were there and she heard the upperclassmen might be mean.  I had to pick up a friend so she had someone to walk in with.  The senior girls looked nice to me!

We walked the twins to school.  

A cartoon of Amy making dinner.  

Noah had his first soccer practice of the season.  

It's a nice night and it's a big team!

Later that night was back to school night for the twins.  The 6th graders are considered one big group so the teachers presented together.  

Last Wednesday, I had lunch at Panda Express.

Ariel had a doctor's appointment in King of Prussia so of course we had to hit the mall after.  

She bought stuff at Edikted and Garage.  

Chocolate covered strawberries.  

Eli got a scary new rug.  Don't fall in!

Back to school night for Ariel.  

It was fun running from class to class.  We knew a few of the teachers and they all seemed to know Ariel already.  She loves to talk to teachers.  

My very large buddies Larry and Jared gave me a big bear hug.  

Hopefully she has a great year!

 

First Day of School!

Last Monday was the first day of school! Ariel was the first out the door at 7 am.  She looks so old!

Eden and Fionna came over early.  Ariel had Starbucks delivered.  They got ready together.  

Here we go!  High schoolers!

Gwen and Eva also headed to school.  

We walked the twins up to school at 8:50.  

Everyone was gathering.

Last year's teacher is this year's teacher!

The twins were excited.  

So each class had a balloon to gather around.  

Until Amy bumped into the 6 and it got loose!

The 6th graders all gathered.  There are 3 classes.  

The boys had a great day!

That afternoon, Ariel had her first cheer game.  This was the first time we saw her in her uniform.  

The girls stretched.  

Here we go!

Go JV Football!

Our little cheerleader.  

Her besties.

Go Fi!

The girls had fun!  What a long day!  

 

The Day Before School

Last Sunday, I went to Wawa to get breakfast for everyone.  I've been wearing an AI device that records my day and gives it recaps it in cartoon form!  This is what it thought of my trip to Wawa.  I will share more of these pictures and tell you more about the drvice over time.  

I met Renee and Sam and went for a walk on the Ventnor Boardwalk.  

This is what my device thought of that!

We had a nice long walk.  The weather was great.  

It was nice hanging with them but it was time for them to drive back to Maryland.  

Ariel loved being with her camp friends.  

My dad and Noah worked on Legos.  

I love these cartoons!

Bye girls!  

We drove home too.  Eli found a new friend.  

The very hungry caterpillar.  

Ariel organized her school stuff.  She started to get nervous about her first day of high school.  

Eli grabbed neighbor kids and set up the fire pit to make smores.

Nothing like smores.  

They even cheered up Ariel.  

We worked hard to get the kids to bed early for the first day of school!
