Lucy had her first day of 1st grade today. She has been really excited about getting back to school. Several of her friends from Kindergarten are in her class. It is hard to get her to say much, but the over all report was, "I had to whisper. We had a picnic with catsup and mustard (she told me this when I asked her why there was pink icing all over her face), and her favorite part was after school recess (we always stay and play at the playgroud 15 minutes after school).
Lucy wanted to make sure I got a picture of her lunch box. We have been having practice lunches to make sure Lucy can open different things. She did a good job eating what I packed (PB&J, grapes, cheeze-its, mini 3 muskateer and capri sun) most of it was gone. When I picked her up the straw wrapper was in her hair. Maggie really wanted her picture taken too. She is excited to start preschool in a couple of weeks. She keeps asking how many sleeps until her school starts.
Jon came with us to drop Lucy off at school. Lucy was rushing to catch up with Daddy. Maggie loved having Daddy home for the morning. He made us first day of school pancakes, brewed the coffee and pushed Maggie extra high on the swing.
Lucy's Birthday braids. The day before Lucy's birthday we got her hair done and braided. I meant to post pictures, but it was summer and we got lots of nothing done. I think I will rename summer "later". We stayed up later, we played later, we slept later, we ate later and we did lots of stuff, but put most off for later. Such as birthday thank you notes. They will be in the mail later (hopefully by the end of the week).
Our beautiful, wonderful, brillant 6-year-old first grader.
