100th Day of First Grade!

Today this sweet girl celebrated the 100th day of school! She was so excited to wake up this morning and not be sick since she was sick on the 100th day of school last year. Unfortunately, her teacher had strep this year and had to miss the festivities!

 Julia's 100 days brighter! 

Everyone had to bring in 100 items today. Julia really wanted to bring in 100 macaroons, but settled for 100 starbursts!

 

 And just to brag on how much brighter Julia is, she has struggled a little bit with reading this year, with AR particularly. She has taken 2 AR tests this week and made a 100 on both of them. So proud of this bright girl!

Veteran's Day Ceremony

Today they celebrated Veteran's Day at Julia's school. Everyone wore red, white, and blue. All the kids got to invite two veteran's to come have breakfast and participate in a parade around the school. Julia invited Pop and Granddad. She loved having them there this morning!

Team Up Against Drugs!

Today was "Team Up Against Drugs" for Red Ribbon week. Of course Julia had to wear her Auburn "jersey"! 

 

Today was a "Nonny Day" for Charlotte since she didn't have school. I got this picture while I was at school today. I want a Nonny Day soon!

Stomp Out Drugs!

Today was "Stomp Out Drugs" for Red Ribbon Week.  The first graders got a special treat and went to the junior college to trick-or-treat and were treated to a performance by the Entertainers. Unfortunately, parents were not allowed to go, but Miss Ward sent me some pictures and Jessica was there to take a few for me too.

Julia slept awful last night. Apparently the Entertainers show was a perfect place to catch up on some sleep!

New Schools

This morning we registered Charlotte for her new school. She'll be attending the Mom's Day Out Program at First Methodist. It's called Stepping Stones, but Charlotte is calling it "Step Rocks!

The class lists were posted at 4:00 this afternoon at Hillcrest. We went to see who Julia's 1st grade teacher will be. She had to take her camera with her so she could take a picture of her class list. She is SO my child! She's excited to be in Miss Ward's class, but even more excited that Lucy and Rolin will be in her class!

Ready to see who her teacher will be!

I can't believe that school starts back Monday! Summer wasn't long enough! 

Back to School Prep!

Julia has been asking for a hair cut for a few months now and today was finally the day. She got about 5" cut off. Unfortunately it was not enough to donate but I couldn't go any shorter! Here are a few before and afters of her new 'do!

This afternoon we went to Target to get her school supplies for 1st grade! She had fun picking out all the things on her (long) list.

Charlotte was just excited for her candy!

Searching for the perfect notebook

Julia's also been asking to go eat at Olive Garden all summer so to finish off our Julia Day we went to Olive Garden before we headed home. I think she's all ready for 1st grade now, I just don't know if I am!
