First day of Kindergarten

It's hard to believe the day has arrived.  I can't believe our girls are old enough to go to Kindergarten and be gone ALL day long.  Didn't we just bring them home from the hospital and swaddle them up tightly each night at bedtime?  I remember when I thought sleeping through the night was a huge milestone. Going to Kindergarten seems to trump all other milestones thus far.  We woke up early and ate a huge gourmet breakfast.  They were excited to pack their lunch and carry their new backpacks and lunch bags.  I was so excited to get their photos holding their cute little Kindergarten signs.  

Reese opted for the sporty Gap tank, shorts, & her new Skechers.  She is so cute and sweet.  

I could seriously stare at that smile all day long.

Ryan chose the dressier look.  She was excited about her new Gymboree dress and Skechers.  I, on the other hand, was not too excited about the socks w/ loafers look. 

 I know it's so shallow to care, but I couldn't do it.  Those shoes and socks together were killin' me.

 So I made her change her shoes.  This look was SO much better.  I'm crazy, I know.  Please forgive me for being a mom who cares too much.  Ryan always has the best expressions.  I love her sassy smile and laugh.  She is such a sparkplug and I love her to pieces.

 Ryder boy likes to sleep in but he was all up in the action this morning.  He is going to seriously miss his sisters.  I think he's going to be like a little lost puppy without his constant entertainment.

 Our sweet little BFFs.

 I really didn't get any good photos at school because it was a bit chaotic and I was already starting to tear up.  Cory had to push me outta there because he didn't want the girls to see me crying.  I was so sad to leave them but they were doing great, although their faces in this photo below says otherwise.
