1st Day of School

Well, everyone had a very successful 1st day of school! The weather wasn't so hot (but, of course, Olivia said she was bursting into flames all day), so it worked out well for the un-airconditioned school. Grace gave me a kiss in front of the school, but then was off on her merry way with her friends-she is so grown up. Olivia wanted to make sure I was going to walk her all the way to the 1st grade line this morning. From the pictures, I think she was a little nervous, but she said she had the best day ever and could hardly wait to go back tomorrow. She loved eating lunch at school and even had art today (they had to draw a self portrait). Emma and I got to spend a little time together after I got home from work and before we walked up to get the girls. She wanted to play down in the basement and play house. When we went to get the girls, she wanted to take all 5 of her purses (you can only imagine how lovely they are)!!!! She sat in the wagon all the way organizing them--and to think Grace is worried that I'm going to embarrass her!!!

Such a good picture of a principle, a 4th grader and a 1st grader all leaving for the first day of school. I loved hearing all about your first day yesterday when you called. Lucky you Emma, you got to play house with mommy. Do you need any more purses to play with? Looking forward to pictures of all the activities you are in. I love you-MORE!!!!! Love, Grammy
