First Day Of School


She was SO excited for this day to come and was not nervous at all.  She looks so cute and grown up in this picture and she was beaming with pride over her outfit that she got to pick out at Justice all by herself!  Two of her favorite things in the world combined: skirts and dogs.

 
Brielle was disappointed that she couldn't stay and go to kindergarten as well...but I think she enjoys the quiet time she gets by herself when Brooklyn is gone.


Breaker happened to wake up 4 times that night and combined with my anxiety over Brooklyn's first day meant that I got 2 hours of sleep that night.  I made a lovely first impression with no make-up and messy hair dropping her off on the first day I'm sure :)  She probably would have been so embarrassed if she was any older...good thing she's not.


He is not a fan of his car seat but does a good job everyday helping Brielle and I dropping off and picking up his sister (which is kind of a pain!)























Don't Brooklyn and Mike look so much alike in this picture?

The first week of school I sent her lunches in the brown bags and she let me know that nobody uses brown bags, they all have lunch pails and that she wanted a lunch pail too.  She used such a sad tone when she told me that I felt like the worst Mom of the year.  Needless to say she got her lunch pail.  She also wanted to buy a lunch for the first time today - which is a total waste if you ask me because she hardly makes a dent in the lunches I send her, and today after school she told me that she only got to eat one bite of her apple, a lick of her carrot and didn't even get to taste her hot dog before lunch was over.  I think she talks too much instead of eating.  Her father's child for sure.

All in all she is loving school but bummed that I run my errands without her.  She is loving her homework and reading assignments and is SO excited about the fundraising folder she just got to raise money for field trips.  She told me that if she sells 23 items she gets a certificate to go to chuck-e-cheese and she loves chuck-e-cheese.  Can't wait. Wha-hoo.
