Back from the beach and back to school

I can't believe its back to school already. I know that I live for this time of year, I love fall! But it snuck up on me so fast this year. I have spent this week glued to my desk, and my phone, scheduling my fall travel. When did it become time to start scheduling my fall travel for work?!?

Anyway, with all of this brings my girlies last year at their current school. They are big pre-ks this year. The big kids of the school!!! I can't believe it (I know that sentiment is completely trite, but I still remember holding my little 4 pounders...) Carl and I made the decision to separate the girls this year, and so far so good. Of course, the opposite of what we expected is happening. Alie adjusted perfectly (always my little shy mommy's girl). She's even volunteering in class. She's coming home everyday (except the first day, when she evidentally "just stood there") and reporting on the class goings on. Laney on the other hand has been taking the separation a bit harder. She had tears on the second day of school, but seems to slowly be making the transition. Other than making a placemant and having a turtle in her room, I'm not really sure what she is doing in the classroom, but I'm sure its good.

I signed up to be class parent this year. I'm sharing my responsibility with another, more experienced class parent. She also has twin girls, though hers are older than mine. Her son is in Laney's class (clearly I'm the class parent for Laney's class). I'm already really liking the gig- kind of like an additional social outlet, which I really enjoy. I don't know a lot of parents at the girls school (outside of their good friends parents).

So that's that. The craziness of back to school supplies and getting used to new teachers. I've gotten the girls to school early every day this week, which in my world, is a HUGE accomplishment. Soccer starts next week, and we're going on another vacation (finally Carl is coming a long..woohoo!).
