I can't believe tomorrow is the big day. We had so much fun today. We woke up and went to Shipley's to get donuts and then we went around to our friend's houses and delivered the cookies. The girls had so much fun b/c we were trying to be really sneaky about it. I would pull up and they would run and put the container on the front porch then run back. It was lots of fun. Then we came home and they played together for a few hours. No fighting, it was great!! I cleaned their closets, not super fun but when I get stressed I nest so that's what I did. Mac was so excited that her closet was completely clean. I reminded her that it starts out like that about every few months but a little monster messes it up. :o) After that the girls showered and I painted their toes and finger, a girls got to be all dolled up! Then we played some board games. Here we are playing one of our favorites, Trouble.
After we ate dinner, the girls requested Bush's Chicken, it was time for bed. I sat with sweet Mac for a while and we talked about the things she is most excited about and then things she is nervous about. Thank goodness she is more excited than nervous. I told her that I actually feel the same way she does. I'm excited for she and Mille, but at the same time I'm nervous and sad too. I've loved being with them this summer and of course I love that there is no schedule so we can stay up as late as we want. It's always fun to just hang out and not have a plan, but with that said it will be good to be back on a schedule too. I explained to Mac that even though I enjoy summer more, no matter what we do school will start and we need to just embrace it. We talked about the saying , "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade!" She thought that was funny.
She's such an amazing young lady and she teaches me to be a better person everyday. I love her dearly and I'm so proud to be her mom.

My sweet Mille bug, she was on fire tonight! She's so excited about school. I sat and talked with her for a while too (honestly I couldn't sit very long b/c she was getting to hyped up talking about it! I think it was a combination of pure excitement but also the fact that she was very tired! When Mille gets tired she gets hyper!) we talked about what she is most excited about. Her answer, "Mrs. Fisher and Math!" What a cutie. There isn't a day that Mille doesn't make me smile and laugh. I am serious, that child can make me laugh like no one else. She is always saying the funniest things, some on purpose and some not (those are always the best!) I can't wait to hear what she has to tell me after her first day of school tomorrow. :o)
Here's her dress for tomorrow. It looks pretty boring but it has a cute little sash that goes around it. Mac is wearing the same style but purple.
I've been thinking about what tomorrow is going to bring. It's another "First of many firsts." I have had times of being excited about tomorrow and then I've also had times where I feel like I could just cry b/c I just love being around my girls. Tonight as I was taking a shower and getting ready for bed the tears started coming. The kind that came out of nowhere, I hate those kind. I think I've been telling myself that it's going to be great to be back on a schedule but deep down I've always known it's a sad time. When I stop to think about why this time always makes me sad the only reasons I can come up with are:
1) it's the end of summer, which means schedule here we come!
2) my babies are one year older!
3) homework
4) this year has been sad b/c my best friend moved and it doesn't seem right to start the year off without the Golomb boys getting on the bus with the Cherry girls! We always got pics and those are the girl's great friends along with my great friend! I miss them!!! I've been constantly thinking about Grant, Ryan, and Matt and how they are at a huge new school and I just wish they were here!!! :o(
5) This is another milestone that I wish my mom were here to see. I would love to hear what she has to say about their school clothes and what she thinks about their teachers. Silly thoughts like that consume me on monumental days like tomorrow, it's the "Should of's or What would of's" as I like to call them.
I guess my final thoughts on tomorrow are: I'm blessed to have 2 beautiful, smart, sweet girls in my life. I am such a proud mama and I enjoy each second of being their mom. I pray they have a fabulous day tomorrow and a great school year. I also pray it's another amazing year full of education and fun.
