Last day of School!!

Megan's Last day of Kindergarten is tomorrow!! HOLY COW! It has gone by so fast. I can't believe the school year is over. It seems like last week I was stressing about her starting school. And now it is over.

It is amazing to see how much Megan has grown up. She was so scared when she first started. I had to walk her to her class everyday. Now I just drop her off at the doors and she goes in the building all by herself. She has so much more self confidences. I'm so proud to be her mom and see the change.

I am looking forward to the summer but I wish that I was able to be home more.

Megan's Fall Carnical

This is a little old. I just pulled the pictures off my camera.
In September Megan's school had their Fall carnival.

They had about 8 or 9 big blow up slides and rides. The kids could go on the rides and play some games to win little toys. You could pay tickets for the rides or buy an unlimited bracelet. I was really glad that I bought the unlimited bracelet. Megan when on every ride at least 3 time. Except the large slide. She went down it about 10.

Lindsey was happy to watch her big sister. She would get upset if she couldn't see Megan and start calling for her.

School Pictures

Megan is getting her school pictures done today. And I'm a nervous wreck. She looked cute when I dropped her off at school this morning. I just hope she stays that way. I'm so nervous that she will forget it's picture day and mess up her hair or her dress. Or that she will forget to give her teacher her picture order form. She forgots to turn in her homework, so I'm really nervous she will forgot the order form.

I am appalled that school pictures are so expensive. Delevoping pictures isn't that expensive so I don't know why they have to charge so much. I was only going to buy the class picture but I decided that I wanted Megan's picture. So I bought the cheapest package they had. I figured that we can scan the pictures and email them to anyone who wants one can I can post them on my blog.

I really would like pictures of my girls to give to everyone. I guess will have to take them to Sears or beg Ryan to take some. I don't know why getting pictures done is so stressful!!

Megan's First Day of School

Megan started Kindergarten yesterday.

She was so excited. I took off work yesterday so that I could be here on first day. I did okay... I didn't cry!! I was nervous about getting her there and on time.

We got there a little early, which was good because the halls were packed with parents taking their kindergartner to school. Ryan and I were both anxious about leaving her. Lindsey wasn't too happy, because she wanted to stay and play with the toys.

When we got home... I knew that I need to be working on laundry and packing for our trip this weekend. But I was so anxious that I just wasted time on the computer for 2 hours until it was time to go pick Megan up.

Megan wasn't ready to leave, when Ryan and I picked her up. She was excited to tell us all about school. She kept saying that she wants to go again. I'm glad she likes school and I hope she keeps that attitude all through school. Or at least for several years. Today Ryan will have to get Megan to school by himself. I'm nervous for him, and hope Megan will get ready on time.

1 Week and counting...

Megan and I went to the school and met her teacher yesterday. The school had an open house and we were able to go see her classroom and meet her teacher. We also found out that she will be in afternoon Kindergarten. I'm a little disappointed...I was hoping that she would be in the morning so I could take her to school. Oh well, Ryan will just have to take her and pick her up. Afternoon will probably be better for her because she is not a morning person. She is a grump if she gets up too early!! As hard as I try to get her to go to bed early...She won't. She will lay in bed and read or play.

Megan ready for School!!

Megan is registered for school!! She is so excited. On Tuesday morning is the school open house. Ryan is going to take her to meet her teacher. She starts on Aug. 27th. I'm still not ready... It is so hard to believe that she is old enough to go. This coming week I have to take her school shopping. All she needs is a couple pairs of pants.

We won't know until next week who her teacher is and if she is going to be in morning or afternoon Kindergarten. I'm still hoping that she is in morning.... But if she gets in afternoon we will survive.

Summer is Flying!!!

I can't believe how fast summer is going. Megan starts school in a month!! And I am panicking. I feel clueless on what she will need. Thankfully I have a friend that is a school teacher and she has given me some ideas that has helped a little. I haven't registered Megan yet because I didn't know where we were going to be living when school started. I think I am most anxious about that. Megan needs a couple of shots, after her doctor appointment on August 12th we can go get her registered.

I am still trying to deal with the fact that I have a daughter that is going to kindergarten. It doesn't feel that long ago I was in school. Megan is so excited she just can't wait!!! She asked all the time if she can go to school tomorrow. I have to tell her not yet, but really soon.

Ryan and I will have to change the way we do some things... No more late night runs to Walmart. Or leaving during the middle of the week to go visit family. Oh well... it will help us all have a better bedtime schedule.
