First Day of School 2010

McCanless and Mary Clare jumped up and out of bed this morning.  Well not really jumped, but it was unusually pleasant.  I’ll take it!   Neither would eat the cinnamon rolls I baked, nor would they say much, but I knew they were eager to begin the school year.  They both wore the clothes they had chosen the night before and we actually walked out of the house by 7:40 without a hitch!  Mary Clare fell asleep on the way to school, but walked right in when we arrived.

Ready or not, here we come!  New pink book bags, new pink lunch packs and one pink lady bug nap mat for Mary Clare.

…and she had to wear pink!

My big girl and new first grader who lost a tooth today at school!  Around 9:00 AM, McCanless came running into the office with a big grin showing off her latest gap!  This will be #7 for Pixie Lily, her tooth fairy!  She was so very proud!

No tears for her first day of 3K.  (It probably helps that her teacher also happens to be her aunt.) Good luck with my pinkalicious blueberry, Ms. Kate!  One day down.  Only 179 more mornings to go!
