Kindy Kickoff
Today was Annelise's first day of Kindergarten!
Her first day was NO.BIG.DEAL. She's at the same Montessori where she ended last year, so it's nothing new, (for ONCE, right?!?!) [Next year moving to Will's school will be an event.] She looooves school and has been counting down the days until she could go back for the last two weeks. :-) She was pretty irritated that they didn't do any REAL work today; she said they only played and that it was "so boring!" :-P She can't wait to go back w/ supplies tomorrow & demand work! (That's our girl! ;-))
We don't have to buy any supplies for Will; his is the only area school where you just pay a flat $25 supply fee = whew! Sis didn't have a supply list, either...until I picked her up today. ;-) I scored awesome deals, though - $10 total. [I just had to go 3 places to find wide-ruled paper! :-P]
A lot of people (esp. up north, where many don't go back until after Labor Day) keep saying, "WHOA!!! Soooo early!" but Annelise has been out since mid-May. Will & the rest of our county go back Aug. 12th and have been out since May 25th. (Sis is different, b/c hers is private Montessori just across the other county line.) I LOOOVE having the kids get out early, b/c it's already so warm & good to have summer fun here, and then go back early...b/c we are all ready to have a schedule again! I don't know any kid who still wants to be in school in June, (except Annelise, who cries when school is over) and now I am so happy to get back into our groove. Yay for being back in my schedule of choice! :-)
PS - The Steel Magolina-level horror of Friday has slightly subsided. It *DOES* seem to be curling under slightly, which makes the situation much more bearable. My friend Laura in Canada was right: I think those blunt ends were just in shock. (PS - how awesome is it to receive international support?! :-D) My friend Jonnie in IL had another great comment: "God knows when we need a good cry, yours came in the form of a haircut." ♥ My BFF Jackie helped me really deal Friday night, so now *huge sigh* still praying for fast growth and offering her lots of egg salad. ;-)
[I love how cute she looks with her monogrammed lunch purse!]

Susie, isn't Will starting second grade? If you want, send me your address in a FB message and I'll sign and send a Keena Ford book...I can sign it for him or for his teacher/classroom, whichever you want! I'm pretty excited that he's the right age for it!
