I suddenly have two mornings a week with no children in the house for the first time in four years. Today was the first day that they both went to school, and I have to say, even though I know this free time will only last about 10 more weeks, I really didn't know what to do with myself, other than to watch the clock and wait until 12:45 when I had to go pick them up. I did manage to get the bathrooms cleaned and four loads of laundry folded and put away in peace and quiet! And then on Thursday, I have a midwife appointment; plus I have a nursery to put together and decorate, so I know I'll find stuff to do with myself ;)!
Hattie is a pro at the school stuff and had no problem at all on her first day. She was all smiles and "Miss Social Butterfly!" Mary Ellen did fine when I dropped her off, but then I heard her crying while I was still in the building. She stopped after about 5 loooong minutes. Then I left, to leave on a good note! The director of the preschool called me around 11 a.m. to tell me she was a happy camper, playing, and there had been no more tears. I think I needed to hear that!
I am so proud of my girls who were both smiley and happy to see me when I picked them up at 12:45. First Day of School 2010 - a HUGE success!

Glad it went well! David's first day is next week, and I'm excited and nervous to see how it will go!
I love their first day pics. They are dressed so cutely and it's good that they had matching bows and dress styles so they could be recognized as sisters. You are so smart!
