First Day of School

My little baby started 1st grade...I am so excited for her but sad at the same time. Being at School all day is a long time, she loves it but I really miss her.

Last night she was so excited for school to start she couldn't sleep. I went upstairs around midnight and there she was in my bed trying to pretend she was asleep so I wouldn't get mad at her. She was in her underwear, which wasn't how she was when I tucked her in, so I asked her, why she wasn't in her pajamas she told me..."I wanted to be able to get up and get my school clothes right on, and then eat breakfast....it would take more time to have to take off my pajamas."

I asked her if she wanted to take her lunch in a lunchbox, and she insisted that she wanted to eat school lunch. So after school I asked her how lunch was...she told me. " I chose the chicken patty sandwich....it looked a lot better than it tasted." I laughed. I tried to warn her.

She also drew a picture of her teacher, I personally love the purple high heels.










McKinlee spent the day looking for her and was really excited once the bus finally pulled in.

Time for some real Adventure

Living in a big city can sometimes limit the things you are able to do, fearing that Mia was going to have no other loves but shopping; I was desperate to get her out of the city, and show her how many other things there are to do...So I talked to my Dad and we decided to go and spend our Summer Vacation with them, rather than he and my Mom making their annual trip out here...so off for and adventure we went. Me, Mia, Mckinlee...and as I found out after we had booked our trip, baby #3.





We went hiking to the Dinosaur footprints, hiking in arches...Mia loved to run through the sprinklers...and I took her river rafting. Mia had a blast...she can't wait until we go again.
