Meet the Teacher/First Day of Preschool

Today went pretty much as I expected. I didn't sleep last night cause I was way too nervous, and finally threw in the towel and got up at 6am. I finished getting all of Elliot's stuff ready and woke her up around 7:30am, thankfully she woke up happy. She had some green juice and watched Caillou in bed while I fixed her breakfast (Lucky Charms for luck on her first day). We got dressed and did pictures, then headed out. From that point on Elliott did great, she walked in and was ready to play....me, not so much. I'm proud to say that I held the tears off until I was back in my car and leaving. Here's some pictures...

Here are the pictures from meet the teacher....

 

 I can't believe I have a preschooler!!! Can't wait to share her thoughts on the day, I'll see if I can shoot a video of her talking about it!

I'm a terrible blogger....

but, I'm hoping to remedy this during my free time when Elliott is in school. What the what?!?!? School, already???? Yep, Elliott is starting school this week (2 days a week from 9-2). Chad will, unfortunately, be out of town this week, so my blog about her first day might have to wait until next week as I will probably sit in the parking lot crying all day Tuesday.  I cannot believe it's been over a year since my last post! Elliott's 3rd birthday this year was celebrated at a local park in Keller. I promised Chad when we moved (Oh, yeah...we moved into a new house in Keller almost 6 months after selling our last one, spending the interim at Chad's parents house) that I would not have her party here this year. Of course, I made/am making up for it by having mine and Trish's 30th Birthday Bash, Cori's Bachelorette Party, Cori and Clark's couple shower, and Bobby and Darcy's couple shower here. Ha! Hoping to do a post about each of those on my crafty blog (www.punkindoodledesigns.blogspot.com). Anywho, her party was a pinwheels and polka dot picnic brunch at the park...very small and easy, but still fun. I took no pictures at it, but I know Marla did, so hopefully I will get around to posting some soon. We also just did Elliott's 3 year pictures with the amazing Nine Photography, so hopefully I get around to posting those soon as well. Chad and I took a 5 year anniversary trip to Costa Rica with our good friends and new neighbors The Stupkas, lots of fun pics from that. AND, of course new home pics (before and afters). We haven't done a ton yet, but we're getting there. With all that said...STAY TUNED, blogs will be coming out soon!!!
