First Day of School and a Funny...

Well, it is here--the start of the school year. It was a quick summer but the girls were very excited to start back to school. It was a rough year for me though because Bailey started 1st grade!! I'm okay with her being gone all day but not having her home for lunch is what made me sad, they are both growing up too fast and I'm not ready! :) Bailey started yesterday and Erin's first day was today, and both did really well. A new year of homework, schedules, and school activities.

For those of you who read my previous post about Erin catching grasshoppers and putting them in jars, this is kind of the next edition to that. Erin has been catching grasshoppers and just holding them in her hands for 10-15 minutes or so. Well, yesterday she had one in her hand and it bit her! I didn't know they could bite but apparently they can. So today after school she decided it was time for some revenge on all the grasshoppers in our yard (since we have TONS). She armed herself with the fly swatter and the plastic baseball bat and out she went hunting grasshoppers! She actually managed to kill 4 or 5 of them, which surprised me. It was hilarious to watch her go on her little rampage.
