First Day of First Grade

On our way to school...

About 4:45 on Sunday (the night before the first day of school) Maddie decided that she wasn't sure she really wanted the Hello Kitty backpack she picked out (which I had tried numerous times to talk her out of anyway). So, being the rotten kid she is, we headed to Bealls which is right down the road. I refused to drive 30 minutes away to Kohls... I had too much to do to get ready for school. (Truth be told, I would have gone if we didn't find one she liked at Bealls... I know, SUCKER!!) We walked into Bealls at 5:50... they closed at 6:00. She found this backpack and decided it was "The One." I wonder why she is so rotten??? I will still blame it on Nonnie and Granny! :o)

Mommy and Maddie
"Education is a Treasure" is our school theme this year... there are pirates and treasures everywhere! Maddie told me when school was over that she was already used to her class, but she didn't like the theme... "pirates are dead." How many 1st graders are even aware of the theme??

When we were eating supper tonight, Dustin was asking Maddie about her day. He asked her if they had recess, and if it was hot. She said, "Yes, I was sweatin' hot chasing all those boys." Not quite the answer we were expecting!! Too funny.

Kenzie's day started out pretty rough. As soon as she woke up she was crying about wanting to go to school with me, and she didn't have any of her "family" with her (from a 3 year old), and she wanted Maddie to go to Bonnie's with her. When I dropped her off, she was clinging to me and crying. It was so sad!! The teacher next to me said she was fine when she dropped off her little boy so that made me feel better. I can't wait until next year when she gets to go with us.

Maddie is so rotten and Mom is definitely a sucker, but at least she got "THE ONE" for her backpack....and that's all that matters in the end, right??!!:)

She's such a big girl now...makes me a little sad. AND, I love that she's all about chasing those boys - too funny!

I refuse to take the heat for that kid being so rotten!! I think it must have been Granny - especially since she won't read this comment.
