Watch Out First Grade, Here I Come!!!

Ashlie started the first grade today. We have a few traditions that we have started around our house. The first one we started last year. Each year the night before the first day of school we read the book "The Kissing Hand." It is a cute book about a raccoon that doesn't want to go to school, and his mom gives him a kissing hand. It almost makes me cry each time a read it. The first day of school I pack a hand shaped sugar cookie in her lunch with a Hershey kiss in the middle of it to remind her of the book and that I love her. This year we also started a new tradition. The night before school pedicure. She picked out new nail polish, and got to be pampered. She needed to look glamorous for her first day. She got to have the WHOLE family take her to school and walk her to her classroom. Neither Dan or I wanted to miss out on dropping her off, so we all went. We ended the day off with a special first day of school treat. Cream puffs. They were yummy!!!

Pedicures, don't I look relaxed, and don't you love my short hair?
