My last child, (might I add it's been 4 years since I've even had kids in school) started Kindergarten!
Lexy has FINALLY started school.
She got up immediately when I woke her up at 6:30.
Then it was getting dressed and doing hair and getting breakfast and making her sack lunch - which she was ants-in-the-pants ready to pack the night before.
I snapped a few photos, well, more than a few (and it's a good thing, I tend to get stressed on big days, some of the photos ended up blurry)
We set off as the sun was coming up over the mountains.
And arrived an HOUR EARLY!
Hmmm, maybe mom needs some de-stressing, but not yet, it's down-to-the-wire Festival work... SO, we detoured to the Library, where I did some quick work on Festival School sign-ups (a Jr. High wants to bring 115 on Friday and they call today to see if it's possible - it is, but I was told afterwards :) 'this it is, stop being creative with the special situation parking stuff'), made a few signs and updated inventory files.
And then we headed over to the school, FINALLY.
Lexy got so excited she clasped her hands (with matching painted fingernails, done the night before, at HER insistance - I'm lucky to have dodged the 'why aren't my ears pierced!!' discussion, again), barely able to contain herself, and told me 'I'm so excited, it's my first day of Kindergarten, ever!"
No tears, no last minute worries, this girl was so ready to start school - AT LAST!
At the end of the day...
it was another story ;)
Still excited, just too tuckered to last the drive home without a bit of shut-eye.
As I said, a WONDERFUL, Incredibly SCRAPPABLE day!

What a great photo story you have there!! I adore those pictures of her. She is just so beautiful with those big brown eyes and that blond hair :)
Oh my gosh she is so cute! I can't wait to see the LO's you do! Or maybe a mini book?? So much fun to be able to play with those kinds of photos!!
Your "Mini-me" is so cute. What a good job you've done raising her. I can imagine what feelings were going through both of your minds that day. Can't wait to see the pages you come up with on her first day of school.
Great scrappable pictures!!! Cant wait to see what you do with them. :)
So cute, the picture in the car asleep is just priceless!
Need to see a LO with these!
Oh she is just too precious!!! And I can totally relate. Fatigue has seemed to be a common theme around here with a new kindergartener this year.
