First Day of School

Yesterday was the first day of school.  Man this summer sure went fast.  Both kids were ready for school to start but also a little anxious for the big day.  Will changed shirts about four times before deciding on the clone troopers.  Reina had her outfit picked out for weeks.  Everyone was dressed and ready in record time which probably won't happen again until the first day of school next year.  First grade and third grade, here come the Pauley kids!

Coco gets in on the first day of school pictures too, because why wouldn't she? 

My little hams.
Goodness, this kid is growing up.  He told me over the weekend that third grade is the first year of not being a little kid anymore and I have to agree with him.  After school he informed me that this year they have to take big tests (standardized state stuff) and keep a daily journal of things they worked on.  He had a great first day but was a little dismayed by the fact that there are only 5 boys in his class and he's girl-trapped at his table (surrounded on all sides by girls).   
This picture says it all, doesn't it?  A little worried but sitting patiently as the teacher starts the day.  Reina's best friend moved to a new school so she's a little adrift right now. I know she'll find her bearings and get in the groove soon.  But looking at that face makes me want to drive to school right now and sit by her side for the rest of the day.  Hang in there girl.
