All I asked for was one picture of K Belle and La Petite Belle getting out of the vehicle or maybe even standing in front of the school on their first day. You know, that’s the thing we do as parents on the first day of school, but, of course, I forgot to get one before they left home.

Our morning routine includes me getting the girls up, making sure they have everything they need, making breakfast, making lunches, etc. Beau is the one who drives them to school. (Our plan for K Belle to ride the bus this year failed. The bus-stop time was 6:10 a.m. No thanks. And, she was starting to have doubts about the whole idea. So, we made it work.)

I got this barrage of picture texts from the three amigos, saying they wanted to document every moment of their ride this first day.

K Belle’s first day of high school was great. Her quote when I picked her up and asked how it went: “It was so much fun. I can’t wait to go back tomorrow.” Wow.

La Petite Belle was less thrilled, but started the year out with the most organized binder and neatest penmanship I have ever seen. Hope it’ll last longer than the first week.
