We've...got...SPIRIT!

S-P-I-R-I-T spirit!  

Let's hear it!

(one of the only cheers I've ever learned, and I know the moves, yo)

Anyway.

Our house is full of all sorts of School Spirit again today because it is Ellery's first day (back at) Preschool!  Not to be outdone by her Big Sass, Ellery was full of energy and excitement to be headed back to "my Kind-o-gaw-ten."

(or the Dragonflies class at Busy Little Hands two days a week.  Whatever.)

Don't let that innocent smile fool you :)

For her "big day," Ellery wanted to wear her special new skirt, which she spent the morning twirling and twirling in :)

Ruffles?  Check.  Backpack?  Check.
Must be the first day of something :)

Her excitement was so cute.
SO CUTE!

Ellery also got her goof-on, just like Tanner did last week:

It must be a Hurliman-gene thing :)

See?  Goofballs. 

...so life's getting back to "normal," right?  Girls in school, I'm getting ready to start work, and we're gearing up for a nice, gentle fall.  

As if.  !!! :)
