The end of summer vacation

Thursday was the first day of school and it went off without a hitch. On Wednesday, I spent half celebrating and half mourning the end of summer. On the one hand I am so ready for her to be in school. She was driving me up a wall especially towards the end with how obnoxious her behavior had become and all the *fighting*! Gah! On the other, it's been amazing watching them play and grow and learn together. I gave them my phone to play with on Wednesday and they actually played with it really nicely together. They shared it well and were both loving it.

It's times like that when they are cooperating and getting along and playing nicely together that I am so glad that they have each other. There is nothing quite like the bond of siblings.

Thursday was awesome. Everyone got up early and was ready and raring to go on time. It kind of felt like we picked up right where we left off. Miranda was super excited to go back which was very comforting to hear.

And off my baby went to first grade! She's been rocking the full days and it's been really nice during the days. I've been feeling so productive! I'm getting all my chores done really early in the morning and it's just been a bit more peaceful and quiet. I find that by 1:00 or so I really start missing her and wanting her home. I think it's the Kindergarten schedule still catching up to me.

In other news, because it's just me and Elliott during the day, I decided to have Adam fix up my bike with a basket and the seat for Elliott to ride on and I'm going to try and use it as my car during the day! I obviously won't go super far but I figured it's something! It's a mode of transportation for sure! I'm excited to try it out.

So, I think that's about it. How did the end of your summer vacation go?
