Samantha's 1st Day of Kindergarten!

Samantha started Kindergarten today, August 22nd at Plattsmouth Elementary School! Her teacher Mrs. Morrison was awesome! It will be a fun year!

I decided to make a sign that said KINDERGARTEN that she could hold in her picture. (I saw this on another mom's blog and thought it was really neat!) I will change the sign to say 1ST GRADE next year and Samantha has already decided she wants the sign to purple and her 2ND GRADE sign to be yellow! I hope I can remember that far into the future! Alden has decided he wants a green one for his 1st day of Kindergarten!

Samantha & Mommy before leaving for school!

All 3 kids with their book bags on! They were all so excited!

We parked at Memorial Park and walked along the path to get to the school.

Anna O & Samantha went to preschool together!

Putting her book bag away!

Samantha & Ali were in dance together last year and now they are in the same Kindergarten class, and even at the same table in the room!

Starting to color her 1st picture as a Kindergartener!

One last picture of Mommy & Samantha, before I completely lost it and had to leave! It's a big change for our household to have 1 child in school full time now! I'm sure we'll adjust eventually, but right now it's really hard for me! Alden and Clair were so excited to see Samantha when we picked her up from School!

Samantha told us all about her day and she still had more to say at bedtime! She only had applesauce for lunch and chocolate milk, so she was very hungry for an after school snack! They had hamburgers, baked beans, and applesauce for lunch and she doesn't like hamburgers or baked beans! We asked her to try everything, but she didn't have to eat it all. She told us she couldn't get the hamburger unwrapped, so she didn't try it! (We're not sure what that means!) We wanted her to experience school lunch the 1st day so that everything was new to all the kids! We are not mean parents, I just wanted her to figure things out on this 1st day of school! The next 2 weeks of lunch are things that she will like, so this shouldn't be a problem again.

She was happy to play with her old friends at recess and she was excited that her friend Kaia was in her Art Specials Class today!
