Off to school

We have had a busy last three days (but aren't they all). On Tuesday we went to Olivia's school for the ice cream social. She got to take in her school supplies, meet her teacher and have some ice cream.

Yesterday we had an Olivia and Mommy day. We went to Cedar Rapids to chucky cheese. We had a great time and had pizza and won 580 tickets that we bought some fabulous prizes with.

Today was Olivia's frist day of school. She usually gets up at 6:30 in the morning but of course at 7:15 I had to get her out of bed. She had some breakfast and it was off to school. Jacob wanted to go in too and wanted his picture taken by the door.

This is Olivia's teacher Ms Miller. She is the absolute textbook definition of a kindergarten teacher. She is pretty and super nice. Olivia met her at kindergarten round up and then Josh and Olivia saw her one day out on a walk and she remembered Olivia's name. None of us could believe it, out of 100 kids at round up she remembered Olivia's name. Well, Olivia hoped and hoped that Ms. Miller would be her teacher so we were very excited when it turned out that she was.

My baby girl going in to school for the first time. Mom stayed relatively well composed. I was surprised there was only one kid crying that I saw.

She gets out of school today at 1:55. The house is so quiet without her.
