Backpacks, Helmets and Skates, Oh My!

Well, all good things (like summer,) must come to an end. Today was Katie's first day of first grade! Unlike last year, she told me which uniform she wanted to wear and how she wanted her hair. She looked pretty cute, complete with her new Hannah Montana Crocs from Daddy.(Sigh.) They grow up too fast.

We are finally coming out of three cold & rainy days. It wasn't even a fun summer rain where you can go outside and puddle jump. We even turned our heat on one of the nights. (Note, this is very unusual weather for Colorado!) We did all sorts of things to entertain each other. Trips to McDonalds & Chick-Fil-A, we visited the Butterfly Pavillion, went roller skating (see below,) and just plain used our imaginations.

Check out our very cool space helmets!


Can't you just hear the Pointer Sisters and Michael Jackson in the background?
Well, perhaps not. But they did get to do the limbo and the Hokey Pokey!

YAY for the first day of school! Is that a uniform your girl is in? If so, don't you love it! She looks great! How did you do with your first day of ALL day school?
