First Bus Ride

This little cutie is LOVING Kindergarten!

This was taken before her very first bus ride.  The Friday before school started, the bus did a stop run-through and all K-2 students could do a practice ride with their parent.  Mark got to go...lucky him! ;)

Middle School!

My Middle Schooler!

I had to drop off a few things at the school today and we were able to walk around and take pictures!  I was so happy to get to do this because yesterday...that was a different story!  I believe around 1,500 students are enrolled and from the looks of the hallways, they were all there at Meet and Greet...at the same time!
All set and ready to go!
 Luckily, she knows her way around pretty well.  I still get lost, however!
In front of her team...
It's going to be a great year!  So excited for her and this new adventure! 
She's totally ready!

Meet and Greet

Today, both girls had "Meet and Greet" at school.  I could NOT wait to bring Emma to see her sweet teachers!  I was pregnant with her when Allie was in this same class!
The view right outside her classroom door...love this!
Her sweet teacher...who picked her up every time she talked to her.  This has to be the BEST kindergarten teacher in the universe!  Love, love, love her!
The Parapro...who is equally amazing!  Allie had her as well.  She has the sweetest disposition and I'm so thankful Emma is in this class.
Hanging out underneath the reading loft.  She can't wait to climb up there! 

Allie was so glad she could come and visit today, too.  She was an aide in this class last year and really enjoyed helping out.  She spent the morning touring her middle school...no pictures, though.
  Smiling in front of the Smart Board...coolest thing ever!  
I loved how they were able to spend some time exploring the room.  Allie helped her complete a cute scavenger hunt, too.
I love this school and my kids are blessed to be here.  
I'm serving on the PTA Membership Committee this year and am really looking forward to helping out.

Gotta go...now I'm searching all over town for navy TOMS shoes for Allie!

The Company

 Allie and Emma are both dancing in the Company this year.  So excited for them to be able to perform more throughout the year.  They both LOVE to dance.
All of the Company members and the introduction of Emma's class in the front row.

Allie Turns 11!

Allie had her birthday party on her actual birthday this year!  Six of her closest friends came over for pizza, a movie outing, and a sleepover.  I took the girls (and Emma) to see the Smurfs in 3D...very cute, by the way.  They stayed up until 7 AM!!!!!!!!!!  Oh My!
I'm sure  a nap will be in their near future!
Pink zebra cupcakes, of course!
Love these...
A few treats to take home...
