1st day of school

Today was Shanley's first day of school. She is now in 6th grade with Mrs. Becknell -- her final year of elementary school. (I put her and Chandler on different tracks so he still has 3 more weeks of summer.)

I was not ready for her to go back to school! We were having a really fun busy summer -- Summer Games in Cedar City, youth conference, girls' camp, Yuba Lake, Harry Potter movie marathon, cousins' camps, etc...All of a sudden it was time and I wasn't prepared.

I managed to pull it off (mostly). We went school shopping for a new outfit for the first day.



She had a good breakfast of scrambled eggs and toast. I remembered to take the back-to-school pictures. I went in and met her teacher and volunteered to help in the classroom. It seemed like success until I got back home and realized I hadn't packed her a lunch. Oops!



Chandler has his first day on August 17th and Alec and McKayla have their first days on August 24th. With three different start dates, I am bound to get at least one of their first days absolutely perfect.
