Back To School 2020

 

Well friends...this year hasn't looked like any other and neither does Back To School but we are embracing this as much as we can.  My girls went to school yesterday for the first time in SIX months...it was surreal but seriously, they were so excited to be back with their teachers and friends and classmates...nervous but very excited...we are grateful that they have the ability to learn in person.

 

On Tuesday, at lunchtime, I took Eva to see her classroom and meet her new teacher...she was so excited :)

 

 Mrs. Martin, her Asst. Principal, was sporting her new fancy mask from us...made Eva's day :)

Later on, it was time for the girls' first dance classes of the year!  Papa Bob chauffeured our little ballerinas for us...he is the best!  He also snapped a pic for me :)

Then yesterday, I was up bright and early (as always) to prepare breakfast and get the lunches packed for the first day!...I snapped a pic of our Coton Colors plate- thanks to many of you, we finally scored one on Amazon.  I love how we can change the charms at the top.  I ordered a school bus one but it didn't get here in time so I thought the chevron pumpkin was a good substitute ;)

(Eva still let us pack her a Bento Box- Diana said NO...that is so babyish) ha!

Eva started 1st grade and she gets to go to school every day!  She was up when Diana was up because she was too "nervous" and truth be told, most days she gets up at the same time anyway...

Breakfast is served...

Then I presented the girls with a special token...one to remind us of each other...especially after being home together for six months..there may have been a few tears between us

Then it was time for our obligatory "front step chalkboard pics"

Diana's turn...

She started 7th grade...she is now a big Middle Schooler...eek!

and then Eva's turn!

All together now....

 

Got our masks and we are ready to go...

The girls came home with so many stories...excitement and yes exhaustion!  It will be a big adjustment after being home for 6 months!  Eva is back at it today and Diana learns remotely today-she goes into school physically every other day so we are working on getting into our new routine!  Hope you all have a healthy and successful school year...no matter what it may look like!
