Our girls started 2nd grade today...

We can not believe our lil' girls started 2nd grade. Where did the time go? It seems like we just finished the first year of Pre-School. The Summer even went by fast. We got the girls up about 7:30 to get them ready to wear the outfits they picked out the night before (so cute). We had a bit of an issue with shoes..the ones we just got are to tight so they will go back to the store for a bigger size. The girls had there "rice krispies" (they picked it out) & some milk. Not to hungry this morning...maybe it was 1st day jitters! Then came 8:45, we had to go! I was excited for them until we got to the school. As we were trying to find their class to meet up with in the gymnasium, the class was already starting to line up. We didn't even get to meet the teacher, I was so annoyed! I started to walk with the girls upstairs to to the classroom...(to take a picture with the teacher & see the classroom & meet the teacher) My name was called! "Mrs. Heschl, you can't go upstairs for security reasons". I was like "what?" What do you mean? I asked. The teacher told me that none of the parents can go to the classrooms and that we could only see them off at the gymnasium. Well I was pissed! And of course I started to cry and the teacher said you can can call to check on them and I said "oh I will!!!". Not very happy at all. What kind of crap is that? I understand about the whole security thing & all, but they should of put that in the letters they sent to us. I mean we don't even know this teacher & she will be with our girls all day. I am sure she is very nice, but I still would like to put a face to who is teaching our girls. But NO we have to wait until Orientation (Sept. 22nd). The schools should have this before school starts. I do believe they are fine ( I did call) and will have a great day seeing their friends. I am having some anxiety with them starting back at school. They are growing up so fast! Gabriella seemed excited but Miranda was a little nervous. I gave them a quick kiss & hug told them to have a good day and I went out the door sobbing. Mark was laughing, but when I told him what happened he understood why I was really upset. He said they will be fine but I should call the school & let them know. The secretary was nice and she checked on the girls for me & they were fine (I knew they would be). Now I can not wait to see them at 3:30!
