Kate decided to make her own Valentines this year out of construction paper and dum-dums. She cut them, wrote notes on all of them and used a very lean process to make sure that one was made for each and every one of her classmates. She even recruited her sister to help with the assembly. I love that she decided to make her own...my girl Kate. Old school and sweet at heart.
Ava's First Day of Kindergarten!
Ava woke up and looked at me with her big brown eyes and asked..."is today the day I get to ride the bus to school?" She beamed when I said yes. Her countdown finally complete! Good nights sleep. Lunch made. Bag packed. Favorite dress from Grammy on. Favorite shoes from Grandma - check. Breakfast eaten. Hair brushed. Eager kindergartner - check. Hugs for sisters. And for Mom, Dad & Grandma too. Ready to take on her first day of kindergarten. I have never seen a little girl more eager to hurry down to the bus stop and determined to climb bus steps. I barely got that hug! I have always envisioned her first day of school to be harmonious - taking our time eating breakfast together, strolling leisurely down to the bus stop - lots of room for photo ops. Harmonious? 3 under the age of 6...it was more of a pleasant frenzy...and went by faster than I would have liked! I am not going to pretend and say I wasn't a wee bit sad...I think the fast morning was a bit
