First day of school 2016

Gabriella started first, she was ready and excited to start 4th grade. Her teachers are Ms. Baker and Senora Mendez. She chose her cute "MATH ROCKS" t-shirt and skirt to wear for the first day.

 Olivia had to wait one more day before she started, so she set out what outfit she wanted to wear, including a headband, backpack and shoes, it was very cute. She was SO excited!

 First day of 1st grade! 

Her teachers are Mrs. Nelson and Senorita Sanchez. Livvy was understandably concerned that her Spanish teacher might not understand her (: but she was working up the courage to tell her "Hola." 

 Dash and Liam wanted pictures taken too, haha! I love Dash in his Spiderman boots and "dog" costume as he calls it, the hood has dog ears on it (it used to be Livvy's).

  Liam with his bed head and monkey backpack (leash, hehe).

 Gabriella was a good big sister helping Olivia get the hang of things.

 Shannon and Livvy, not in the same class but they still play together at recess and eat together at lunch.

She was the first person in line for her class.

 With Mrs. Nelson (we love her) waving to all the parents.

 Blowing a kiss, it was a long process but Livvy wanted to make sure she saw me until the very last minute. We had to ease her into it over the next week slowly watching her go in less and less, it was a little rough for her and there were some tears but she got the hang of it just in time for when we got allowed to start riding the bus.

 And since she was first in line she got to hold the door for everyone in her class.

On the second day (since I forgot to get a picture of them together on the first day),

Zach and Livvy, ("boyfriend and girlfriend" since preschool, although I don't think it was discussed much in kindergarten) they still say they plan to marry each other. Zach's mom has told me multiple times about how he asks question about when he and Livvy are married.

Liam and Dash on their own without their sisters home to entertain them. They actually did awesome! Turns out their older sister tend to push buttons and cause some problems. Without her they played happily most of the day! Also, these MagnaTiles are wonderful and have provided hours of fun! This is what I posted on Facebook that day "Today I am so grateful for twins, they played so well together all afternoon! And for MagnaTiles- they entertained them for quite a while!"

Dash especially loves them and builds quite elaborate structures.

 This is what happens when I try to take a picture of them! Silly boys!
