The Last Saturday

Today marks our last free Saturday.

Until November.

We are officially in full school mode.

Both girls have had homework each night.
Abby is working on some of hers as I type.
She want to work ahead.
Gabby has beating herself up for "not getting" her math.
She figured it out!

Next weekend kicks of high school football season and that, of course, kicks off marching band season.  Gabby will be marching during half time on Friday night and then has a parade on Saturday.  Abby will continue to have volleyball practice into September when they have their first game.  Don't even get me started with their fund raiser for this year!  It has me more than angry!!  Let's just say that I don't mind the kids doing a fundraiser but when the coaches demand a certain amount be sold or they are going to bench the players, then this momma gets angry.  Not only did momma get angry but poppa did too! 

After Abby got out of volleyball (an hour late), she came home and tore up her fundraiser stuff and threw it away.  Guess she was fed up with it too.  Needless to say, I'm pretty sure that the Athletic Director at the high school will be getting more than 1 complaint from parents over this one!!  I know her coach isn't happy about it but he can't do much when the head coaches are pushing so hard.

SORRY!
I wasn't going to get started......

Time for me to enjoy some quiet with my book before bed.

Hugs friends!

Today is the day!

As promised...


Just look at that excitement!


They love the first day of school!


They can't get enough of me taking pictures either!


Yeah!  This is the last one :}

I wished them well and told them to make good choices before they ran for the car to get away from me!

Half day of school so they will be home around noon.
Then off to haircuts.
Abby back to school for volleyball practice at 3 and picked up at 6.
Gabby to work by 4 and off at 7.
