The One Where They Started Senior Year

August 16 - 18, 2019

Senior Year.  Starts Now.  Class of 2020.

Emma started her Redlands Community College concurrent online classes on Monday; Meridian Technology Center class on Wednesday, and Mulhall-Orlando High School on Friday.  Lar starts Stillwater High School on Monday, and Oklahoma State University concurrent classes on Tuesday.  I am so thankful for smart kids, ambitious girls, and calendars!  It is going to be quite a chore to keep it all starts this year!  (And did I mention, my 2 OSU Grad School classes start this week as well!)

But it was another fun-filled weekend!  Emma went to the lake with friends on Saturday and earned herself an epic sunburn.  But she had a blast tubing and just being out there with friends.  When she got back to town, she actually met a boy (16, Connor, from Okarche) while at a stop sign.  It's always an adventure with this one.

Lara spent Saturday glued to social media to see which sorority all of her older friends went to on Bid Day!  Seeing all the excitement, hearing me talk about it all week (I spent a lot of time in the kitchen at the Welsey Center this week where Alpha Delta Pi held recruitment due to our house is a huge hole in the ground), and now knowing where her friends are has made her even MORE ready for formal recruitment next summer!  She cannot wait to Go Greek!  And Saturday night she spent her last night with Erika and Kendall.  She was supposed to sleepover, but came home around midnight, not feeling well.  Kendall leaves for Harvard very early Monday morning...

But my favorite part of this weekend is the Back-to-School photo shoot we did this week.  Here are my favorites:

There is really no stopping them now.  I cannot believe it is here.  It happened too fast!  Jake also starts 7th grade tomorrow and Finn has an extra week of summer as his BRAND NEW elementary school is not complete enough for the teachers and students to come nack yet, but he starts next Monday.  The first football scrimmage for the Pioneers is this Friday.  Fair Day for MO is this Friday as well. It. Is. HAPPENING!

Maybe a slow start for Lara - st least she doesn't have to be at school until 1pm tomorrow.  Jett the Jetta has a flat tire.  Putting the spare on tomorrow morning so she can go to the tire shop.

And on a Senior Mom note, I ordered football mom and dad shirts for Football Senior "Family Pictures" which are in a few weeks.  Traditionally, the moms take pics with their boys, but this year we are changing it up a bit and moms AND dads get to be involved!  Can't Wait!
