I HAVE A 5TH GRADER!!!! I don't know where the time has gone. She has been at the same school since kindergarden and has had the same best friend since the first, ok maybe second day of kindergarden. (Don't you wish we could still make new friends so easily?) When they started 5 years ago- her best friend M's baby sister was 4 months old. Today, the baby sister started kindergarden. To me when you can link "time" this way it really is hard to believe! I took the obligatory pictures, complete with the correct number of fingers up in the air for the grade they were starting. (This is VERY helpful to those of you with kids in uniforms when you find a pile of pictures a few years later and can't quite remember what grade they were in). The problem is that you can read the location of Most Holy Dollar on her shirt so we won't be posting those.
So M's mom and I dropped the kids off, made small talk with the other parents and got in our cars and drove away as fast as we could!! :). We went to breakfast and we did a little shopping. It was a half day so a little was all we could fit in today. It was so nice to be able to eat at a nice slow pace, not have to share a drink with anyone and better yet go in stores where you didn't have to worry about someone touching something they weren't supposed to. I think overall it was a good day for everyone.
Now if you will excuse me, we are off to Kinko's to make photo copies of the math packet we got at the end of the school year LAST year, that they told them today, they need to turn in tomorrow.(Ok, maybe the day is starting to go downhill) Thankfully we found ours (Yeah me for being a pack-rat, take that hubs!), but M needs a copy. I am hoping this is all for extra credit points, cause a little padding never hurts anyone! After Kinkos? We are going to come back home, cover books, fill out way more paper work than one little person can carry in a folder, whip out 7 pages of the above metioned math, whip up some fajitas for dinner, take showers, get our backpack ready, hit the hay so we can do all this all over again tomorrow, and the day after that and the day after that and the next day and the next day...... Is it friday yet?
