1st Grade: 1st Day

It's dark at 6:45am 'round these parts.  The bus picks her up at 6:53am and she was STOKED to get to ride the bus this year.  I didn't want to permanently blind her, so I only took a few pictures before school.

Here she is with her card from Grandma and Grandpa. This year she's a Newton Indian, so the card was red. Grandma did an awesome job on this, despite the inside of the card's minor misspelling.

And the bookbag - PURPLE! With PUPPIES!  She was so excited for her first day.

Stay tuned for more "after" school pictures when the sun was up. :o)

1st Grade: Newton Open House

We got out of the car - and she wanted to run into the school.  She waited patiently for everyone to squeeze out and pulled me towards the sidewalk.  "This is going to be my new school forever, Mama!"

She was just thrilled to meet Mrs. George, her 1st grade teacher.  Her first teacher in her new school.  We ran into Candy and Deanna on our way into the classroom. She didn't want to stand there and WAIT!, as the anticipation was KILLING! her.  Finally, I gave into the arm tugging.  "Ok, let's go!" and off we went into her new class. 

Her new desk. Jaaden, from her soccer team, is right across the table, so she will be fine on the first day.

We'll need to add ALOT of hair to this figure (used for the behavior scale).

Robbie, he was impressed with all of the cool things he could explore in the room.  (PS: What's up, Sophia? Do you like Robbie's shirt?)

Saturday Crazys

We introduced the Bean girls to Center Stage, where they may take dance with us next year. Terri is signed up for a combo class of tap and jazz.  She's excited for classes to start in September.

Next, we headed to get my hair cut and thinned. As we were waiting in the lobby, she found some eye glasses that they had sitting there for people to use to do crossword puzzles.  She thought they looked cute on her, even though she couldn't see with them on her face.

Next up - school clothes shopping.  She picked out this dress to try on.  I think it's my favorite thing we bought.

Next up, the shoe section.  I finally let her have some "glitter" on her shoes. This was after she picked out purple Adidas tennis shoes.  There was a definite purple theme this year in the clothes and shoes. (Too bad they don't come in adult sizes, because Mom and I would totally wear these too!)

Once home (and after the rain storm passed), we had a bonfire.  The pile was as tall as the corn field when we started.

Seth came over to share in the bonfire experience and Terri couldn't help but steal his hat. (HA!)
