First day of preschool!

Ashley has been patiently waiting ALL week for her 'big' day to come. And today it was here! First day of preschool! Ashley already knew her teacher, Mrs. Molgard, and was THRILLED to be in her class this year.
She picked out her clothes, and off we went!

Ryder is sad that his school does not start until Sept. 12. Today we played Legos and are going to practice the organ in our free time together.
Yesterday was Ellie's 'long' day at school. Every other Wednesday, the morning or afternoon kindergardens stay the whole day (which is actually the school short day and they get out at 1:30 p.m.). So she happily packed a lunch. I went to help out on the first big day, also because they are still hiring an instructor for her class. It was very interesting. The helper that day told me that Ellie was one of the best behaved students. And then she offered me an instructor job! (said I was doing a great job helping out).  I said I was busy this year.
Here she is playing during recess.
