1st day of Kindergarten and 4th grade

Allison and Ashley started school today. They were both very excited. Allison is in Mrs. Montoya's 4th grade class.
I can't believe how fast she is growing up. She is very excited about this year because she gets to study Idaho history and go on rendezvous. This is going to be a fun year for her.

Ashley is in Mrs. Moody's A.M. Kindergarten. This is the first time that one of my kids has had morning kindergarten. I am so excited for her. I always worried how they would adjust to first grade and the morning schedule. Ashley is very excited to be at a big school with her sister. She came home to tell me that Allison needs to come look for her at recess. Ashley is looking forward to making a lot of new friends and learning how to read.

Our house has been rezoned as walk zone so this is how the girls got to school this morning. Kevin came home to take us up to the school. He has been there on the first day of kindergarten for all three girls. I thought Ashley might be a little bummed that she won't be riding a bus but it hasn't seemed to bother her. If we stay here till she graduates she will never ride a bus because we are within walking distance to all the schools. I don't think she has thought that far ahead yet.

Ashley did a great job getting dropped off. I knew she would do great and wouldn't have any problems. I even did ok. I got a little misty eyed. I think next week it will really set in when Madison goes and I have the house to myself. What will I do with my time? My kids might not like what I do with my time because I am in a cleaning and clearing out mood.
