Mara starts 1st Grade!!

Remember how I bawled my eyes out when she started Kindergarten?  Well, I kept my sh*t together this time! I started tearing up as we were driving her to school, but told myself to suck it up!  Even though she will be a bus rider, we decided to take her for the first day.  

When we got there we went to the cafeteria to show her how to work the lunch room for breakfast.  Every child at the school gets free lunch and free breakfast, so we decided we are going to take advantage of that!

I was glad Sean was home and was able to come with us to drop her off.  I think it made it easier for everyone!  I think we're going to have a hard time with Logan starting school though.  After being there for not even 2 minutes he was trying to talk Sean into leaving....he hates big crowds.  So, that'll be fun I'm sure.

Then we headed to the playground to wait for the bell.  They had fun playing together.  Can you believe I was the only parent taking pictures?!?  In Utah I swear everyone has their cameras out like they're the paparazzi or something.  Not at Mara's school.  I was getting funny looks from people.  Weird.

When the bell rang we showed her where to line up and off she went!

It was so crazy!  We have a 1st grader!!!  How/when did that happen?  She suddenly looks much older to me.

While Mara was having a blast at school (she told me so), Logan had a rough day.  About every 20 minutes he asked if it was time to pick Mara up from the bus yet.  When they reunited it was seriously the cutest moment ever.  They ran to each other and wrapped up in a huge hug.  Mara even picked Logan up off the ground.  It was so sweet.

Logan starts preschool next week.  That day cannot come soon enough-for him and for me.  He's bored out of his mind!  Poor dude.
