I won't cry...

Really.

Today is the first day of school. Sort of. The Big Girl heads off on the bus this morning for second grade. The Boy has a 45 minute "orientation" for Kindergarten with the first day tomorrow. The Toddler? She's pissed that she has to wait until Friday for preschool.

Tears of joy I tell you. Tears of joy.

As well as Science City. They turned a sewer line into a slide. Gives new meaning to coming down the poop chute.

In some ways I'm sad to see summer go, but really - it's time.
