First Day of Preschool

Kate is in her third week of preschool and is loving it!!  She loves her teacher and likes to tell me about her friends.  She said her favorite part is when they go outside for recess.  ha!

Mark took some good pictures the night before she started, but I think they are still on his camera so those will have to wait.  You'll just have to endure my blurry iphone pictures. 

Kate wrote her teacher a little card the night before and I made her a Germ-X bottle and a little bag of chapstick.

We had everything all laid out the night before. She was so excited!

She doesn't even go to preschool until noon, so she got up and had to wait hours to go. She kept saying, "How many more hours til I go?"

I made "P for preschool" pancakes that morning.

We had to save lots of time for pictures!

Gotta love that zebra print backpack! At least it wasn't the Justin Bieber backpack she begged me for. I told her there was no way I was sending her to preschool with a Justin Bieber backpack.

Then, it was off to school. It's literally about 2 minutes from our house, so it's super convenient.

I'm so sad this picture is so blurry, because it's the only one I got of Kate and her teacher. Oh well. This is her sweet teacher, Ms. Kathy. Kate loves her!

Jack had to get in on the action, too!

So far, preschool has been great for all of us! Kate loves it, Jack and I get some one on one time or I can use the time to run errands with only one kid in tow. It's always nice to pick her up, though. Jack and I miss her even though it's only 2 1/2 hours.

It makes me think of how WEIRD (and quiet) it will be next year when she is in school all day.
