Kindergarten and Preschool

First, let me explain something.  At registration we were told that there might not be room for Brookelyn at the school we live TWO BLOCKS from.  So later that week they call me and say she will be going to a school about 10 to 15 minutes away.  They let me know that school starts at 8:20 and the bus will pick Brookelyn up at 7:12 to be transferred to a different bus at a different school.  I was a little upset.  First, she would have to be on the bus for over an hour and then they expect a first time bus rider to get off at a school and then get on another bus.  I decided that I would take her to school everyday.  (Just one of the many blessings from being a stay at home mom this year.) 

Brookelyn is excited because she does get to ride the bus home. (only twenty mins.)  She thinks it is cool.  She goes to school all day every other day (Tues and Thurs) and then alternates Mondays.  (Yep lets totally mess up all the 5 year olds.)  Brookelyn has to ask me everyday if she has school or not. 

Here is a picture of her first day.  She got a Hannah Montana Backpack with a lunch bag to go with it.  After school the first day she told me that it was so awesome to eat lunch in the lunchroom. :)

We signed Kira up for preschool because this is the second year that she has watched her sissy go to school and she wanted to also.  She got a Tinkerbell backpack and when I dropped her off the first day she started to cry and I asked her what was wrong.  She said, “You forgot to pack my lunch like Brookelyn now I can’t  eat.”  I then explained that she doesn’t eat lunch at school and that day I took her out with it was over.  She is too cute.  I love her faces when I take pics so there are a couple. 

This last picture is of Brookelyn.  She told me she wanted to get dressed and then she came up looking like this.  It was so cute.

Brookelyn wanted to take a picture of Kira so I had her go pick her up and get her picture.  Kira was not interested in the picture but she still is a cutie. 

We are liking school and there is an hour on certain Mondays that I am completely child free!!
