Sam is officially a Kindergartener!

A big day in the Howe household today! I woke up a little earlier then the alarm clock (Sydney crawled in our bed for the first time all by herself at 5:45) At 6:30 I went in to help Samantha get up. She was soo excited. She took a shower ate breakfast (I was worried about that since she doesnt like to eat for like 2 or 3 hours after she wakes up) She had a mini cinnamon bagel w cream cheese and class of chocolate milk. She really wanted to ride the tag along bike so I pumped up some tires and at 7:40 we were out the door. Alyssa stayed the night so Jon and I could both go. It was a rather quick drop off. No tears just a big hug and kiss!

The twinks and I walked to pick her up. We wont be doing that again for awhile...it's too dang hot (102*) for a couple a 3 year olds and their 41 year old mamma! Tomorrow they will stay home and the bike it is! Way to many cars trying to pick kids up plus the school is maybe a quarter mile from the house so I dont think I will ever be driving! Samantha said school was a lot of fun. She met 5 new girl friends and 1 boy friend. She doesnt know anybody's name so we told her tomorrow she has to come home w at least one name! She was a little bummed on the whole playground thing..the kindergartners have a separate one that is all gated up and doesnt have monkey bars or a "telescope!" She said she saw Jessica (3rd grader) at lunch but she was on the big kid side so she couldnt talk to her but she said she smiled at her. She did have tears in her eyes though because her "job" for the day (or week she doesnt know) is garbage. She thinks it might be all week because she didnt pick up any today! Other then that it was a fun day for her. We took her to cold stone creamery for an after school treat which of course she thought was awesome! An after dinner swim to finish off the day...and early to bed! As Jon said when we got back "One down, two to go!"
