Luckily, I ordered their book bags a couple of months ago and had already taken them shopping for a few things (supplies and clothes) earlier in the month of August. Plus, it is always so hot for the first few weeks of school -- especially in their classrooms -- that they end up wearing a lot of summer clothes that they already have in their drawers.
All ready for school:

Almost ready to leave:
As is our annual tradition, both Steve and I took the girls to school on their first morning. It was wet and rainy, but the drop-offs went pretty smoothly. Steve took Sophia into her school to help her with her book bag, lunch, locker, etc., while I left with the van and took Samantha to her school. The boys and I walked her in and made sure that she was situated before we drove back to Sophia's school to pick up Steve.
While I was at the elementary school with Sam, Steve sent me this picture of Sophia:
During the boys' naptime that day, I set up a little surprise for the girls that they could have once they arrived home -- some blueberry muffins, a smoothie, some scented play-doh and some scented dry erase markers.
So excited to be home! (This is Sophia's first year riding the bus and she seems to LOVE it!)
Later that week, I also surprised the girls with some pencil cookies. I had seen the idea online and decided to adapt it a bit. They were a hit!
