We will start with Luke since he started school a week earlier than Abigail. Luke is in second grade this year, and he started back at Pioneer. He has been so excited for school to start! He practically ran out the door wanting to get to the bus stop to see all of his friends on the first day. Luke's teacher recently got put in our new ward boundaries, so he was really excited to see her at church and school.
his opinions of the first day of school:
1. 'we get 3 recesses!!! It was great... I played with....'
2. ' Lunch is really noisy, and my friends eat really fast so I have to hurry and go play, so that's why I couldn't finish my lunch' (I think that first day he only consumed his string cheese and juice box)
3. 'My teacher is really nice'
4. 'There's a girl that looks like Hermoine in my class, I think she's really nice' (We always knew Luke was a huge HP fan, this just confirms it... oh, and his first swear word was bloody hell)
so over all, a big success!
On the day before Abigail's first day, she was telling Carly and Hailey during lunch that she wouldn't be there to play anymore. Carly said, "we better hug" Then they all thought they were so cute, so I was asked to take a picture. They are pretty cute
This girl was begging to go to school. Afternoon kindergarten is killer... all morning she's asking when she can go to school.
Abigail was really excited to ride the bus and see Luke at school.
The day before school started I asked which outfit she was going to wear on her first day.
She said, "ummm... a new school dress"
"Abigail, you didn't pick out a new school dress when we went shopping"
"please can we go shopping again? I have to wear a special school dress!"
Abigail doesn't ask for much, she's easy going and super sweet, so of course we went shopping and she picked out a special school dress.
since it's afternoon K, Ben came home on his lunch break to see Ab get on the school bus. She's got the best Dad!
Her opinions on the first day of school:
1. "we can't sit on the purple part of the carpet, it's where the teacher walks. So I followed the rules and listened"
2. " There was a bully there, he knocked over my crayons" (I tried to explain how silly boys act around pretty girls)
3. " I got some candy, and it was really good"
4. " I saw my cousin Jenna at school, and she was wearing a pretty dress too"
On the 2nd day she reported that the bully kid turned into a nice boy.
On the Friday before Labor day, she came home sad because she couldn't go to school for 3 whole days!
So they both love school, and have been super happy thus far, yea!
