Back to School 2011

Today was Hailey's first day of first grade and Conrad's first day of Kindergarten. They were so excited and LOVED it. After three separate trips to school (we are too close for the school bus) it was a relief to have them come home happy and excited to go back.

Conrad was cute and told me he made a new friend. He said that his new friend had the same scissors as him and almost all of the school supplies were the same. Later at bedtime he told me that he hadn't actually talked to him (his new friend) yet but since they have the same scissors, that made him his friend. Funny kid!

I can only get a really fake smile or serious face.  The serious face looked better :)

Hailey has a friend (Kendra) from her class last year. She was excited to have someone to play with at recess...The first thing Hailey told me when we were walking out was, "I think P.E. in first grade is way harder than Kindergarten. We were all sweating."

After dropping Hailey off this morning we were walking back to the car and Jack said he needed his backpack because he had to go to school. He thought he was starting school too. Poor kid. He still has two years before he can start. We did make a trip to the library and got a game box to do together. He was HAPPY!
