Can't you guess, I'm going to school.

We have a preschooler! Mckinley started at the Little Blue School House on Thursday. She was SO ready! I walked her to the door, she walked in and headed right downstairs without looking back. I waited in the car for a minute and watched another little girl with her mom & grandma. They stopped and took a picture of her smiling so big and that is when I got a little teary- my baby, my firstborn is now in school-but she is still so little. She had a great first day! She also started dance the same day so it was a day of firsts for her. She was a trooper (yep, still taking her afternoon naps, YES!) and is excited to go back next week. Mark gave her a sweet blessing the night before to make friends, be kind & to learn lots of new things. Can't wait to see what this year brings for her.
 
 
We had a "back to school" dinner and Mc could pick whatever she wanted. She chose Hot Dog on a Stick & to ride the carousel- she was pretty happy with her choice, as you can see.

Mc picked out her outfit (pretty stinking cute if you ask me) and Alex did a fancy double twisty, amazing-as-always, braid for her hair. Serious hair envy with this kid.

The cheese (because her "eyes hurt" from being outside) & her My Little Pony backpack.
