Okay, so today was Alli's first day of fourth grade. Everything started out okay...
I started the morning off a bit slow, but eventually found the time to make her breakfast, packed her lunch with her favorite fruit "cantaloupe", a sourdough and turkey sandwich (hold the mayo an mustard please), and 2 bottles of water...one for her to drink throughout the day, and one for lunch time. And don't forget the plum for snack time.


Okay... Black and White striped shirt $12.99, Hot Pink Leggings $8.99, Jean skirt $14.99, Nike's $59.99... The excitement on my little girls face... absolutely without a doubt priceless!!!!!

Lily, Gracie, Kayla, & Alli
So, we are off to school.. and technically, the school year doesn't truly begin unless "the girls" are together. They walked together, into their new classroom... and I was left with a wink, and a flying kiss...
Reality check: There was a time when Alli would hold my hand, and ask me not to leave... It is moments like this, that I wish I had those days back again. Good-bye little princess, and hello High School Musical.... I'm just going to have to enjoy it, cause soon enough... she'll be hopping into a pink convertible yelling "bye mom, I'm gonna be late for school".
