First day of school 2010-11

Yipee!!  Today was the first day of school! Austin started Kindergarten and Elizabeth, 2nd grade. They were both quite excited about starting the new school year at Miller Elementary.  I set their alarms for 6am.  At 6:02, Austin came in my bathroom, fully dressed, "Hi Mom."  They were both dressed and ready for breakfast quickly.  Everything went so smooth that they even had time to play with the zuzu pets a bit.  We took some pictures, then headed out the door at 7am to walk to school.  It only took us about 12 minutes to walk, but I think we may consider bike riding.  It just goes faster and has a cooler breeze.

After school they were both all smiles.  Elizabeth made friends with the girl that sits next to her, Anika. Her favorite thing was indoor recess.   Austin said he made friends with a nice girl, so he shared a block with her.  He also ate all of his lunch and had fun.  The only negative thing he said was he thought they spent too much time in circle -it was boring. 
The walk home was very hot, so we're jumping in the pool!
