{Back in School}
Yep, Kristen is in 1st grade now! I don’t know how parents of more than one child do it on the first day of school…everything is confusing because you don’t know where to go or who the teacher is, etc. I can’t imagine having to get 2 or more kids to the right spots at the right time. I didn’t bring the camera to school, but here are a few pics of her I took in the morning.
This weekend there is an air show at the International Airport and yesterday they were doing a practice show at the military base that is just a few minutes away, so all the planes went over our house. 
The airshow used to actually be at this base but moved to the airport a few years ago which was such a bummer. We loved having the planes going over our house and having helicopters flying over daily just isn’t the same. So, Kaylee and I went out on the deck and watched the planes and I took some pics. I don’t have a high zoom lens so they aren’t as close up as I would’ve liked to get.
This month I am a guest on MandaBean’s CT and yesterday I did my first layout for her using her 2 Scoops with Robin called Gitchy Gitchy. I know it’s not a new kit, but the colors fit the first day of school pics I wanted to scrap…well, the brown did…the red I had to recolor to pink. Here is the layout I made, along with the layout using Misty’s new Richer kit that I’ve been sitting on for a few weeks, a pictrure of my husband at around 6 years old!
For SSD’s From Our Blog to Yours for 9/4, Libby asked us to do a Crayola Color Quiz! Here are my results:
Oh! Here’s a really funny FAIL for ya!
Alrighty, that’s it for me this weekend! We’re getting some remnants of Hurricane Hannah but it’s not supposed to be bad at all, just some rain..in this half of the province anyway.

Aww look how cute she was on her first day! I still can’t believe I’m a Mom of a 1st grader and a preschooler! Really getting both to school in the mornings isn’t too hard, Kaylie pretty much goes in on her own (she’s too cool to have Mom walk with her lol) so I only have to walk Kelsie to her class. Great layouts

Darling blog! In our schools we meet the teachers a week or so before school starts, the kids also know the last week of school who their teachers will be for the next year. The only one I’ve ever had a problem with was Kindergarten. They post the teacher’s on the door the night before the first day. I was so angry with them one time. I called the school to find out and they still didn’t have the list ready, they said call back at 6:00. I called back then and got the principal. She was really put out that she had to look it up for me and told me to drive down to the school and look at the door. That would have been fine if I had a car and didn’t live 15 miles from the school. She rudely asked me, “so what would you have done if I hadn’t answered the phone?” I just as rudely told her I wouldn’t have sent my kindergartener to school the next day!

I love your LO’s! Your girl looks adorable at her first day
I’m a schoolteacher myself (I teach 4-5-6 year olds), but our school isn’t that big, so parents don’t have problems with getting all the kids where they need to go

Lovely pictures of your daughter. How sweet. I have 5 kids in school with 3 different schools to get them to. Yes, hectic is the word. LOL!
Pictures of the show are great! How fun!
I could never pass the crayon quiz!
I love the “too late” word. My kids would get a kick out of that one! Just laughing over that one!
Have a great day!

Hi Jennilyn! You 1st grader is so pretty! I liked how her feet are extracted from the frame and your husband’s layout is sweet! I’ve stopped by to say, “Hi!”, courtesy of the blog train. I’d love a visit from you: http://isladeangela.wordpress.com/
