and she’s off…
Leo had her first day of Kindergarten today – the whole fam walked up to school with her, it’s two blocks behind our house. I cried on the way up but tried to hide it from Leo – this morning she prayed that I would be OK while she was at school. The day went by fast for just me and the boys at home. We stayed busy and talked about what Leo was doing at the time, ie. eating lunch, recess, probably NOT missing us. :)
We had a happy reunion when we picked Leo up from school!! Fischer was happy, don’t be fooled by his residual salty face. Leo ran all the way home from school – she obviously wasn’t tired! Leo taught us how to make edible school buses, which she had made in class that day. Props to her teacher for filling the kids up w/sugar on the first day of school, Mrs. Miller is a brave soul. Leo said to me, “There was a boy who wasn’t minding Mrs. Miller. I was going to tell on him but then I decided not to, I think I made a good decision.” It’s gonna be a great year.

Wow, Leo is such a little doll! She must keep you busy–I detected a gleam in her eye of pure Marissa! It all comes back….. I’m getting mine in spades with Ry Guy. I’m sure I will be a basket case the first day of school with my boys–you did awesome!

i love fisch sitting in the stroller basket!….no wonder why he looks salty–his bum is probably stuck! but i’m not judging…i’ve doubled my kids up in the same stroller seat before :)

Leo, I loved the pictures of your first day of school. Are you sure you are only five years old? Really sure? You look so grown up! Your mother flounced into school her first day and has been flouncing every since! Ask her what that means, although I think you must know by now!
Don’t worry, Fischer, it won’t be long until it’s your turn and then watch out, Rocky. It will be your job alone to help your mother adjust to all that trauma.
Love you all, and am enjoying Denton’s blog. Go Palin/McCain, or is it the other way around???
