1st Day of 1st Grade

It was a Very Exciting morning in the Claassen House!
However, Livie gave this note to Jed and I this morning...
I love you Mommy and Daddy but osow (also) am varye (very) icsitide (excited) to go to scool (school).  Love Livie
to Mommy and Daddy
 
It was the sweetest thing EVER, but I had to go to my bedroom, close the door and bawl like a baby to my husband!
 

PS:  Thanks Grandma Connie for our back to school shopping spree!  Livie is wearing her new TURQUOISE tennis shoes! 


She wanted to take a picture with "just her" and everyone.
 
Maddi is wondering about all the excitement! 
 
 
 
 
Mrs. Bartel, Livie's 1st Grade teacher
 
Probably my favorite picture!  She was just sooo happy!


We took a pop and note to our Favorite Kindergarten teacher and our new Favorite 1st Grade teacher!  Caffeine is very important as a teacher... or it was to me! :)

And, as a side note, if you are looking for gift ideas or an easy way to let your teacher know he or she is appreciated, have them fill out a favorites sheet.  I do this every year with our teachers; however, I can't take credit for it... I had some fabulous parents who did it for me.  Then you can randomly send them their favorite candy treat, pop, magazine or sonic drink!  It also helps for Christmas and end of the year gifts or gift certificates.  I had one little boy who would randomly bring me a cold diet coke and say, "My mom said you might need this today!" :) or "Happy Friday!"  (his mom is a teacher) It cracked me up and made my day!!
If you can think of something great to add, LET ME KNOW!!
Claire and I went to the farm, library, tried out our new finger paints
 and played babies!  It was a fun day, but we missed Livie! 


And now, the wait game is ON!  Many patient moms and dads were waiting in anticipation to find out about the 1st day!

One of those just happened to be Miss Kristin, a legend in our house.

And FINALLY here she comes.  We're so happy to see the smile!

She wrote this in her journal today.  :(  She asked if we missed her too.  Double :(
 
We played on the playground,


and they were TOGETHER AGAIN!!



I HOPE my teacher friends had a FABULOUS 1st day as well!!
Happy 1st Day of School!!
