the first day of school and it is my birthday!

noah and hazel started school today! 

hazel started first grade

 and noah started 3rd

 when did they get so big?

 we live close enough this year that i get to drive them every day

i'm kind of glad, i don't think riding the bus is that pleasant for them

 noah wanted me to leave him and got pretty embarrassed when he thought i was coming in for a kiss

i wasn't :) 

 i stayed with hazel until the bell rang

 such a big girl

she was hardly nervous (maybe a little about lunch since she's picky...)

she was way excited

 and i turned 29 today!

michael surprised me with a sweet new phone

it's the s5 in gold and i love it!

my phone has been hard to hear out of and cracked for a long time

it's nice to have a brand new shiny one

 i didn't really have any plans today other than taking the kids to school,

cleaning the house for a showing and taking olive to her preschool open house

not very exciting

so i ordered myself some lunch

and a cookie for olive

that we enjoyed while henry and eleanor napped

 michael surprised me by showing up to olive's preschool open house

which was really nice and helpful

then after we picked the kids up from school

they dropped me off for a pedicure

while they picked up doughnuts

 and pizza

(this pizza was sooo good! thanks natalie for the rec!!)

 here's my pedicure

i got gel polish so hopefully it'll last a little longer

 we came home and they sang to me

and we ate ice cream cake (my fave) 

and pizza

 seriously my new fave pizza

it was a big exciting day around here!

here's to 29!!
