Lucy's first day of first grade!

I can't believe it, but the first day of first grade has arrived!! Last night, Lucy had her backpack packed, her lunch ready to go, and her clothes picked out. We got up early this morning and snapped a few pictures on the way out the door.

Charlie wanted to take a picture with Lucy . . . Alex wasn't quite in the mood that early!

 Apparently since we went to breakfast last year on her first day of school, it is now a tradition. So we headed out to Biscuitville and Lucy got her "traditional" 1st day honeybun. She only ate about 1/2 of it . . .she said she was just so excited!

On our way to school, Lucy was so worried that we were going to be late. The car clock said it was 7:29 and the kids can't even walk to their class until 7:40. When we "finally" got to school at 7:32, she couldn't get out of the car fast enough! She was willing to put up with her Mommy's need for a few more first day pictures.

And then just a few Mommy/Lucy pictures. . . 

I can't believe how much she has changed from the first day of Kindergarten to first grade! She looks so big!!

Lucy had a good first day. It took a long time to get any details out of her, but it sounds like it was lots of fun. She was excited that some of her friends from Kindergarten were out on the playground while she was there. She also got chosen to help with a magic trick during the assembly at school. And now she's sound asleep with her lunch packed and outfit picked out for tomorrow. So far, first grade is pretty great!

And then, these guys had their first mini visit to preschool. They had a great time and I had to carry Alex out of school! He kept saying, "I want to stay!" I hope they have as good a time when they really start on Wednesday.

Here they are in their school shirts . .. which are just a little big . . .
