BFF Adventures: First Day of School

It was the first day of school and Caroline was the first awake in the house. Molly had spent the night and laid in her sleeping bag fast asleep even after Caroline had gotten out of bed and made it. Molly didn't even stir. Inkpot walked over Molly and licked her face. Molly didn't stir.

"Molly, it's time to wake up for school," whispered Caroline nudging Molly.

Finally Molly stirred but only to mumble some nonsense then fell right back to sleep.

 

Meanwhile DeeDee and Emily had gotten up and were talking about how excited they were to wear their new back to school clothes.

"I'm so glad you like to wear coordinating outfits with my Emily," said DeeDee.

"Me too DeeDee of course you know I loved how the royal princesses always wore matching outfits," replied Emily.

 

 

Anna is our newest friend (we will be doing a "Welcome Anna" post soonish). While she ironed her back to school outfit she was thinking about starting at a new school. She felt a little nervous but also relieved that she has such good friends to go to school with! 

 

 

The girls met at the breakfast table but someone was missing?

"Where is Molly?"

"She wouldn't wake up." replied Caroline.

Just then they heard a loud yelp followed by giggles....

 

Molly finally pulled herself out of bed and dragged herself to the dressing table, rubbed her sleepy eyes to find an alarming refection!

"YIKES!! That is some crazy hair!!" 

 

 

"Finally you're up Molly! We were waiting for you!"

"Sorry everyone it's so hard to wake up this early since I got to sleep late everyday this summer. Guess I should have started waking up early a week ago to get use to it."

"Don't worry you'll get back into the routine in no time," Emily said. "So why were you yelling and laughing?"

"Oh, because my bangs were standing straight up!"

"Well they look better now, for goodness sakes you can't start the school year with a bad hair day!" Laughed DeeDee.

The girls all giggled as they ate their donuts and fruit shish kabobs. Then it was time to put on their new outfits!

 

 

DeeDee got ready quickly and offered to help everyone pack their lunches.

Healthy sandwiches, fruit, vegetables, and a little something sweet. In each box she added a sweet note wishing them a good first day.

 

Molly was concerned about Math. Her grades in math last year weren't as good as she'd like.

"Hey Emily will you practice math with me really quick?"



 

 

 

"That's a great idea Molly! You never know, maybe the teacher will give us a pop quiz! Best to always be ready with a strong, intelligent, and clear mind!!"

Emily and Molly quizzed each other until they heard Anna calling out to everyone...

 

 

"Ok girls it's time to gather our things up-- the bus will be here soon and Grammy wants to do some group photos!" Anna called out.

 

 

"Inkpot I'm going to miss you so much today! I have loved being able to snuggle and play with you all the time this summer." Caroline had a heavy heart thinking about leaving Inkpot all day but then she heard DeeDee bounding merrily out in the hallway...

 

"Come on girls lets go! I can't wait to get to school so I can see all my friends!!" said a very bubbly DeeDee.

 

 

"DeeDee how do you have so much energy this early?" grumbled a still groggy Molly.

 

 

The girls were feeling a mixed bag of emotions-- excited, anxious, sleepy, hyper, but mostly thankful!

 

 

 

Thankful to have fabulous back to school clothes...

 

 

 

And even more thankful for terrific best friends to go to school with!!!!!

Happy Back to School Time!!

We hope your year has been going smoothly for you!!
