1st day of school (or 5th)

This is Paige's first day of school but actually Lane's 5th day of school. I got Lane's original pictures on the new camcorder but we ended up taking it back because of Mac compatibility. So in the process we lost the pictures and 1st football game. And that is the quick story of how Lane's "very special 1st day of school pictures with new clothes" turns into the "very un-special 5th day of school pictures with last years clothes ('cause Mom forgot to do the laundry)".

(Paige's teacher didn't recognize her at first.  Probably because her hair was pulled out of her face.)

Paige's first day seemed to go very well for her. Mine on the other hand was a little rough. I went exercising right after and could barely see were I was going. For once I was very grateful to Blake for poisoning my ipod with horrible loud rock music.  It made it very hard for me to focus on my babies.  That was until a Taylor Swift song came on and all I could see was Paige as a 16 year old.  See how my day was going?  I did enjoy the rest of the afternoon after I got past how quiet is was at home.  It made it even sweeter when I picked the kids up and Paige was smiling and having a great day.  She met 2 new friends but can't remember their names.  She was really excited that her teacher didn't give any homework.  Really, what Kindergarten teacher would give homework on the first day of school?  She enjoyed it all even with a double ear infection (found that out tonight. Sorry babe, I guess your ear really does hurt).  Lane capped off his evening with a football game and scoring the final touchdown (they don't keep score and he is normally an offensive lineman) so it was kind of sweet for him.  Coming up next: all the things you can do at home without kids.  I'm trying to keep positive about all this change.
