Back to school and Alyssa's 11th b-day!

Well back to the school routine! But now there are two! Emily had a good first week at school but thinks it is "boring." She thought it would be more like her preschool class with lots of play time. But now that she is in her second week she is getting used to it. Alyssa likes her teachers this year and was glad to get back to school. Alyssa had a sleepover birthday party on Friday - she turned 11! It was a good night to have it because all the girls were tired from their first week of school : )! Her present from us was to have her room painted. She picked pink and purple. We even managed to do a fancy faux. She took this goofy picture but you can kinda see what it looks like.
