First Day of First Grade

I’m happy to report that the girls were just as happy getting off the bus this afternoon as they were getting on this morning!  They both had great days, and were thrilled that they each knew at least one or two people in their classes. This will be their first year with separate teachers, and I can see I’m the only one that’s going to have a tough time with it – I’m already mixing up all the class paperwork!  The girls didn’t seem to be bothered at all by the separation, much to my relief.  I know Susie especially enjoyed her day, since she announced as soon as she got home that she is revising her future career track.  Rather than working at the company where her dad works (her original plan), she now wants to be a first-grade teacher!

Here they are this morning.  My girls are looking so grown up, especially when compared side-by-side to their picture from last year!

Just minutes before the bus arrived!  They can’t wait!

And since my picture of their backpacks didn’t turn out, here’s a picture of their lunch boxes: Hello Kitty and My Little Pony.  Hard to believe those same toys were popular when I was their age!
