Meet and Greet

Fall is just around the corner.

School starts in 2 days.

Just in time, I would say.

D&E seem to be getting a bit on each others' nerves the last week or so.

They are definitely ready for some separation.

Because while they are the best of friends and love each other, they surely know how to push each others' buttons.

Today we headed to school to meet their teachers.

It was the official "meet and greet" at their school.

It's a great way to get acquainted with their teachers and new classroom.

I believe it takes away much of the "1st day of school" anxiety that kids experience.

And they get to bring all of their school supplies into school.

They also got to see who was in their class.

Now that they are in 4th grade, they also had the experience of having a locker with a combination lock on it.

Both of them did great with practicing their combinations and getting their lockers open.

Phew!  It could have gone either way with the locks and the combinations.

I am just glad it went well for both of them.

And both girls have great classes.  Good kids in both classes.

It's fun to see the overlapping of classmates.

With D&E being twins, there is always a classmate in each others' class from the previous school year.

D has 2 classmates this year that were in Es' class last year.

And vice versa.  E has a couple classmates that were in Ds' class last year.

Also this year, their classes are right next to each other.  They were very excited about that.

It's fun for me to see them get excited to start school.  There are a few nerves from both of them, but for the most part they are so excited to start a new school year.

Hard to believe tomorrow is their last day of summer vacation.
