lacey's first day of school

yes, finally lacey started school yesterday. yeah!!! i'm so excited. she has been bored for weeks now with lela being in school. every morning around 10:00 she asks if we can go get lela. now around 10:00, she will be her friends playing and having a good time instead of whining that she wants her sister. i have so much stuff i want/need to do now that everyone is gone. i honestly just wonder how much i will get done.

as you can tell there are no pictures from lacey's first day of school. why? i did try. these days everytime i pull my camera out she hides her face refusing to a have her picture made....oh well. when we got home i asked her about her day only to be told that her and Madeline were the only kids at school, everyone else was sick and they would be back next week. do you think that's her way of saying, "hey mom! don't ask me about my friends or who i played with until next week?" i just have to laugh. i will say that is one thing about our girls they don't ever divulge too much information...well not the stuff you want to know anyways.

first day of 1st grade

well, we made it through our very first day of first grade and everything seemed to go good. lela has never been one to spill too much information. you usually end up having to pry stuff out of her, but from what info i did get it sounded pretty good.

it was so nice walking to school this morning, the afternoon a little hot but not so bad. talk about bringing memories from my childhood back. we lived so close to my elementary school i didn't have much choice in my mode of transportation - either walk, ride my bike or ride in the car. trust me when i say all modes were explored at some point during my career there. ahhh! how life was so different then versus now.

lela's teacher seems very nice and fun. i'm excited for her and hope it's a great year. i have heard quite a lot of positive feedback regarding, Mrs. Perrotta and her way of teaching. i now lela will do great! she is loves to read, write and doing homework. (she's definitely not her father's child...lol)
