the Day BEFORE Livie's 1st Day of School

Well, tomorrow is the Day...
Livie's 1st day of Kindergarten, and by most standards we are ready; however, I must admit I walked out of school tonight and said, "She's not ready."  Jed just laughed b/c clearly it's me who is NOT READY. (and secretly, he's not either)

We're ready for 1st day pictures.

We overslept and watched Wild Krats for the last time this morning. 
 
We had surprises before Meet the Teacher... books and panties.
 
Testing out the picture studio
 
Then we were off to check out Livie's classroom at Meet the Teacher Night.  I actually helped her teacher all morning/afternoon.  It was very fun for me to be back in a classroom.
Livie found a desk and unpacked her school supplies.  Claire was very helpful.
 
 
And next, Lockers!!  Little, tiny lockers!!
 
 
 
Yes, Claire took her backpack too. :)

And when we left Livie said, "Now you don't have to walk me in to school mom... I know where my room is."
Um ya right... I said, CALMLY, "Well honey, mommy and daddy want to take your picture."
To which she said, "Well, after the 1st day then you won't have too."
Me:  "Yes, mommy wants you to be safe." 
Livie: "I'll be ok Mom, it's school."
Me CALMLY:  Huh Huh "Well after a week or so we'll see."
What the heck is she trying to break my heart and then stomp on it!!!
A
Montana Mikes to celebrate
 
And finally, The Night Before Kindergarten and off to bed!!
 
 
Sigh... time flies when you're having fun

  1. I just realized today that we don't have our cute chalkboard door for 1st day of school pictures anymore! Sad. And of course I'm not organized enough to come up with something cute before tomorrow morning. More sad.

    Livie is going to have so much fun. And you will have so much fun with just Claire. (After you get all that crying out of the way.) :) Glad to see Jed dressed up for Meet the Teacher night... no overalls! ;)

  2. Oh my Heidi, can't believe she is starting school. But just think little Ryan is in 7th grade. He is so tall. Last year at,honors assembly he won top honors in every class and then received citizenship award for 6th grade. So proud of him, but had some good teachers to start him off.

    1. I messaged Ryan today... still as perfect as always. I love that kid. 7th grade wow... and I've now realized I'm one of those people who says, "I just can't believe how fast it goes!"
