Paige's 100th Day of School

Wow has time just flown by, Friday was Paige's 100th day at school and her class had some fun activities planned to celebrate the milestone.

Each student was to make a shirt with 100 of something and wear it to school on Friday to celebrate. Paige and I decided to use 100 small flowers I had sitting around for scrapbooking; Paige did a great job drawing out a big 100 and gluing the flowers on her shirt.

Each student also had to bring in 100 small toys (thank goodness for the Littlest Pet Shop pets) and bring a snack item (we brought the Cheerios) to help make a celebratory snack-mix which would total 100 pieces.

Happy 100th day of school Paige, we are so proud of you!!!

Paige Starts Kindergarten

For me it was a day filled with mixed emotions but for Paige it was all smiles and excitement, she was ready for Kindergarten. I just can't believe Paige is already 5, my little girl sure did grow up fast but at the same time I am so excited for her and all of the new things she will learn at school. It has just been such a time of change for me having just had Harlow, Paige starting school and an all around new routine involving 3 kids.

Paige is attending Bledsoe Elementary in Frisco, its only a 5 minute drive from our house but we also have a bus option because of the major intersection and lack of paved walkways to get to the school. We of course took Paige to school on her first day which was August 24th and today we put our little girl on the big yellow bus, she was thrilled to ride it. It's a full day at school for Paige, her day starts at 7:50 am and ends at 3:00 pm. I thought our little girl would be tired and cranky after such a long day but actually shes just the opposite, she comes home with just as much energy as she had in the morning before she left.

I was pretty impressed with Jon and I being able to have everyone dressed and ready in the morning and me having Harlow (10 days old) fed and happy in her sling so we could cherish every minute of Paige's very first day at school.

Over the weekend Paige saw these flowers and insisted she needed to get some for her Teacher, she is so thoughtful and sweet.






My hope is that this planter is always here so I can take a picture of Paige standing in front of it every year.

Such a fun classroom


Paige's first "job" will be a Calendar Bear




Love the name tag so I don't have to worry about her getting lost

Sitting at her desk, she already made a person with her Play-doh


So excited for her, I can't wait to hear about her day...everyday

Today getting on the bus. She was so excited; I was a bit nervous when I put her on but picking her up was so smooth and much easier on the nap routine for Aiden and Harlow. Paige was in mid-song with friends when I got her off the bus and she went on and on about how much she enjoyed the ride.















After getting Paige on the bus Aiden was ready to take over the house, first was Paige's Leapster


I of course have so much to share with you all including Harlow's beautiful homebirth story and so many fun firsts with our new little Princess. I will try to make it to the computer in the next few days to tell you all about it.
