Allison's first day of school

Allison started 3rd grade today. She was a little nervous last night because she has never started school without Madison so I am very grateful that Kevin gives them a father's blessing each year. The girls have come to expect them and look forward to them. Kevin is such a good dad.

Allison got up bright and early this morning and jumped right into getting ready. She is not a morning person so that is saying a lot. On Wednesday they start later so we didn't have to leave till 9:00 and she was getting very antsy waiting for me to take her. I was happy for the late start so I could see where her bus stop was since they changed it this year. Once the bus came and went we took our annual pictures on the front porch and then I drove her to school.(our tradition for the first day)



While she was at school we had out good friends the Ewing's over. The moms scrapbooked while the girls played and ran through the rain. I don't think that I have ever let my kids run in the rain. They had a blast. We had a very strange weather today. Allison wore a sweater to school today because I don't think that it made it over 70 today. I have never been able to open my windows in August and be cold. It was a great cool rainy day.

I didn't want Allison to feel like she missed out on fun while she was at school so I picked her up at the bus stop and took her to get a smoothie so I could hear all about her day. She had an awesome day and felt special to get the special treat and the time to tell me all about her day. This year is going to be a good year for her.
