We're Official

She has both a desk and locker with her name on it

in her kindergarten room.

And she even scored her friend/cousin Ava as a locker mate.

Thursday evening we went and registered for kindergarten,
and I'm honestly not sure which one of us was more excited.

Don't get me wrong I'm sure I will fall into a million tears

after I drop off my first born on her first day, but right now I am riding

the high of excitement that comes with all that is new and fun.

Of course the first thing we did was check the class list to see

who her teacher is and what friends might be in her class.
She has Mrs. Kidwell and even a few friends, so double awesome!

After we paid for her books and put the first money in her lunch account,

we headed over to the elementary school to check things out.

We found her room as well as desk and locker. I made sure she knew where

the bathroom was and we even practiced washing our hands.

Then we decided that since we practically had the whole place

to ourselves that we would get familiar with a few other key places.

 We found the library and the office, but were disappointed when we

couldn't find the art room and were told that due to budget cuts

there wasn't one anymore :(

We took a peek inside the cafeteria, which looks surprisingly

just the same as it did when I left this school almost 20 years ago.

Check it out! This is very same artwork from 20 years ago.
I don't remember if it was my grade or the grade ahead of me

that made it, but I sure remember this and can't believe it is still there.

That is Principal Lavely's silhouette in the middle.

Anyone else remember him?
