School House Rock

 The school put on the first ever (that we've been going to this school, 6 years) play with the 3rd, 4th and 5th graders. They did a few songs from School House Rock.

I can't tell you how much we enjoyed this show, it was so sweet, very fun and peppy! I was sad when it was over, really I could have stayed and watched another hour of it.

Of course, Jaida was right in her element, doing what she loves and we were so proud of her and all the kids who did such a great job!

Can't wait for next year...and maybe Jenna will be able to get in on it.

First Day of School 2011

 This morning started early, 5:30 for me to get to the gym.  I guess when I left the kids heard the garage opening and decided it was time to get up.  Russ got them back to bed, but when I came back to shower they were getting dressed a half an hour earlier than planned.

I made swedish pancakes for the kids, because it is their favorite and I thought they'd eat them right up.  The nerves were too much to handle I guess because J only ate 1/2 of one and Jenna only ate 2 bites. 

Let's face it, I was just as nervous as they were!  

Three stomach aches and a few tears was as bad as it got.

 All morning long Jaida was carrying her cup around "just in case" she couldn't hold her food down...luckily she threw the cup in the extra bag when we got to her classroom.  She was good to go.

 Jenna did great too, she was so excited to see her BFF again!  I'm so happy they're in the same class again, they're such cuties!

Just before we left Jenna started with a few tears, which didn't help my stomach ache.

Happy to report that they both did great and are excited for their new teachers and classes!
