Back To School 2025- Our One and Only Friday Favorite for August 29th!

 

Our very favorite and only favorite this week is Back To School 2025!  This is a very special year.  Eva is going into 6th grade and will be the oldest grade in her school and Diana...well...Diana is celebrating the First of the Lasts as a Senior!

 

 

The Cheer Team along with all of the Fall Sports Teams got to participate in the very first Media Day at WHS on Monday night!  I got some pics sent to me...can't wait to see the rest!

 

 

 

Then on Tuesday, since it was the 26th of the month, we started a Senor Year Tradition of gifting Diana a little something to celebrate graduating in 2026.  This was the first month and we filled a metal D with some of her favorite snacks :)  Each month, on the 26th, until graduation, we will give her a little surprise.

That night, Diana and Cat decided to paint their cars- another favorite Senior Tradition- they came out so cute!

 

 

Love the Zach Brown References

 

 

Then we went inside and enjoyed a taco bar for dinner...

 

 

Then it was early to bed because the girls were getting up super early to get ready for their big day! 

 

 

 Wednesday August 27th was the FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL!

 

 

Eva is going into 6th Grade- she is so excited to get her first ever locker and to wear her new clothes :) 

 

 

and my friends...this is it....The First of the Lasts

 

Then and Now.... 

Diana's Last First Day of School in Windham

 

First Day of Senior Year! 

She got to school early because the tradition in Windham is that the senior girls wear dresses and take pics outside until the bell rings...she was there for it!

 

Only got a few sneak peaks....(as Diana said, we have to wait for the digitals- it's a thing) ;)

 

 

 

 and then Pidge was off on the bus- busy bus stop this year and we love it!

 

 

I worked in complete silence- though I would've thought it would be a luxury...it did make me kind of sad.  I forced myself to get out at lunchtime and hit the rail trail- that always makes me feel better

 

 

 

 

 

 Both girls had a wonderful first day- I was grateful!  Such a buzz!  When they came home, we ate an early dinner as they were starving- I made homemade lasagna and threw together a Caesar salad.  Then the three of us watched the newest episode of TSITP...and all we could say was WOW....best one yet.

Someone insisted on joining us...extra needy because the girls were not home much

Last night, Diana had cheer practice and Eva had softball practice for her club team.  I started the series Motorheads and fell asleep very early.  I have a feeling that things will be like this, this year...it's ok...one day at a time...my strategy is enjoying it all and just crying a little when I am alone ;)  

 

 Did you catch my shirt?  I thought it was necessary for the year on hand :)

 

 

 

 

and finally....I can't let this week go by without mentioning another fave....Oh....My...GOD.....so so happy for them and our girl TS!  Such a love story...and I am here for it!!  :)
