It started off with a "Cougar Breakfast" for Paige and 16 of her closest friends. Look at how precious that table is! My friend, Kim, is so creative and doesn't leave a single detail out.
There were chocolate chip and blueberry muffins, fixings for parfaits, fruit, milk and OJ, but quite frankly, the girls were too excited to eat much. I think they look pretty darn cute for 6:15 a.m.
They giggled and talked and wondered who their teacher's were going to be, what team they were going to be on (Paige is on the BLUE ...YAY), and who was going to be in their classes. I am sure they had a few conversations about boys, but the moms and I weren't privy to those :)
They posed for some group shots while the mama/sisterazzi went NUTS with our cameras!!! Such sweet girls to allow us to be in their faces ALL.THE.TIME!
They sat with their besties and talked about how they are SOOOO glad to not be in elementary anymore (I didn't buy that for one minute, though).
They talked about hoping to not get lost in their new BIG school!
They shared the latest trends...
They started to look soooo grown up...
They struck a pose...
Waved at buses and passersby who honked their horns...
They took pics with lifelong friends...
They gave us a glimpse into their future...
They gathered for prayer...
We said our goodbyes to the days of wiping noses, drying eyes, tying shoelaces, helping with handwriting or sounding out words...
and we all said hello to a brand new phase in our sweet girls lives.
I hope and pray that God watches over these girls and helps them to make good choices, be kind to each other, learn all that they can, study hard, play harder, and never forget to cherish each moment!

What a great sendoff! Those girls are so adorable and looking so grown up, but sweet and silly with their poses too! Enjoy every single minute -- I know you will!
And have a fun weekend!

That is such a sweet way to start middle school:) The boys would never go for it but I will tuck it away for when Miss Kate starts!!!! I will offer up a little prayer that Paige has a GREAT year. Will LOVES middle school (he is a year ahead of PAige).
