Alexa's School Days

Here is the Preschool girl! Alexa and I had the opportunity to go to the store and choose out a shirt for her first day of school. Tinkerbell was the lucky one to be chosen. Yes, it was a warm day but that doesn't matter when you are 4-yrs old.


Boy she is silly. Someday I just might get a picture of her real smile. It seems every time I ask to take her picture a new face appears that I have never seen before. Usually that new face is totally silly.


Goodbye Mom, Dad, Russ and Grandma! Let me outta this van and onto the SHOW!


Into the classroom. Alexa was quickly onto getting her name badge and joining the other kids at the little tables. She seemed ready to just begin her school activities. Katelynne had told her so much about what it would be like for several weeks how could she not be relieved to finally get to just do it all?

School Days!

Well we are finally in a school routine, I think. The first month was just crazy and fun. We were so lucky to have visitors at our home often to come and celebrate the first days of school for each of the girls and for Katelynne's soccer games. Katelynne and Alexa really do enjoy their school very much. Russell and I are getting use to waiting. Russell loves to sit and watch the buses come and go. I think he would crawl right into one and start driving it away if I didn't hold him down.


Here is Katelynne on her first day of school. She is such a school girl now! Doesn't she look it?


Devin even got off work for the occasion. (can you tell that we are first time kindergarten parents?)


We were so lucky to have Grandma Lockhart come and join us. She really made it an extra special time.


Another thing that Katelynne was so excited about was the crazy days during green week. Green week is health and safety week at the school to make kids more aware of ways to be healthy and safe. On the first day the kids wore mismatched shoes and socks and walked to school. On the last day it was crazy hair day. Kate was so excited, this is what we came up with.





Katelynne loves to be early to class so that she can have enough time to get all of her work done and earn her prizes. I love to listen to her sing me all of the fun songs she has learned and tell me about her friends in school. I also like sitting down and doing homework with her. I am very grateful to be able to be around for all of this adventure. I even get to volunteer in the classroom sometimes. It is great fun for me.

I am going to post Alexa's first day of school on another post because this one is getting kind of long.
