First Day of first grade, Aug 21, 2012

 Elli with her packed bookbag and lunch.

 I cannot believe my baby girl is big enough for first grade.

 She wanted her daddy to carry her.  Glad she is still small enough to want to be carried.

Elli at her desk.  Ethan is next to her and Molly across from her.
Bullet points of her day:
-The boys all have "drifty" eyes
-My teacher (Mrs. MaHaffey) doesn't use folders the right way, we have to use them to hide our work not to put our papers in
-At gym class, I had to take my shoes off.  Everyone knows you don't wear tennis shoes on the first day of school!
-We had two recesses.  Everyone was out there except the college students.
-If you do something wrong you fail a rule but you still have to go outside for recess.
-We all got to read one whole page today.  It was easy since it was level 1.
