Open House and the First Day of School

Wednesday was Open House for Braden and Ella at their new school. They were both very excited! I think they are going to have a great year. They both have wonderful, caring teachers.

 Checking out the different centers.

 The kids were so easy to get ready on the first day! Fortunately, I was able to take them. I just love their new uniforms.  At least I can get away with "matching" them and they cannot complain! :) 

Ella loved her new "big girl" backpack.  But, of course, her new shoes had rubbed a blister on her heal before she ever even made it to her classroom. So, her first day of school she spent "shoeless". At least she had a very sweet teacher that allowed that to happen.  Maka did save the day by bringing her Keds, but they still hurt her feet.  I won't make her wear those again!! :) They both had a AwEsOmE first day and couldn't wait to go back! Braden even wanted me to "teach him" over the weekend.  I guess there are some benefits to him being in the same grade I teach!! :) I am excited for all the good things this school year will bring to my sweet babies!!  

Marc giving her a "pep talk"- probably not to talk to the boys! HA!HA!

I did good this year dropping off my baby in Kindergarten. (much

better than last year)  I think I did ok because Marc was with me to keep my mind off of it and I was more worried that she was going to be miserable all day with the blister on her foot. All in all, her day was great and I survived her first day of kindergarten!
