The BIG K

Only 4 more days until Anna starts Kindergarten, where did the time go? She is so ready and so excited. I'm excited for her too. While I'll enjoy all my extra kid free time, I'm gonna miss my shopping and coffee buddy,lol!! And I will no longer have any excuses as to why my house is a wreck, I'll have more than enough time to get it and keep it in order. My plans for the first few weeks are to reorganize each room top to bottom and purge all the stuff we no longer need or use. Hopefully it won't take too long and will make keeping everything organized a bit easier.

On Wednesday we had Kindergarten Welcome Night to meet the teachers and see her room. Unfortunately Anna will be having a new teacher and they didn't have her processed so she was very dissapointed when she didn't get to meet her. She did get to meet the student-teacher that will be in her class for the first 16 weeks and she really liked her. She seems like a very sweet girl. Hopefully Anna will like her teacher just as much. She was happy to see a couple of her Nursery school friends are in her class and that it's about half boys and half girls too.

We also went back to school shopping ( Thanks to Grandma !) and got some some cute clothes that we can transition from summer to fall. Of course I just saw the 1st day it's supposed to be 90! So much for fall weather!

Tomorrow we have a 3rd b-day party for Anna's cousin Joshua. We went to Lakeshore Learning and got him some great stuff. I just love that store and could spend a fortune there! I think when Anna goes to school fulltime, I'll work part time so I can get a discount and buy everything I see,LOL! Of course Anna lovs it too and it's super hard to drag her out. But her all time favorite store is Whole Foods. That's right a grocery store,crazy kid! She loves all the samples they always have and the attention they give her with stickers and treats. At least it's a healthy store and not a toy or candy store she likes so much! I'm not surprised though it's one of my fave places too. So much to see and try, it's a great place!

Hope everyone has a great Labor Day weekend and first day of school!!!
