Wiggin' Out!

My friend Bernice who is undergoing chemo right now was going to be in town for a few days. We all wanted to get together to hang out before she headed back to Kansas so one of her cousins planned this great "Wigging out" party! I thought it was such a cute idea! If only it hadn't been so stinkin' hot that evening...but it still turned out to be a lot of fun! Thanks Krissy for putting it all together! I can't believe I didn't even get a picture of you!

I'm bummed I didn't get a picture of everyone who came to the party but here's some of the pictures that were captured that night.

Meet the teacher & First day of school

One of the things we look forward to and get a little nervous about is when it's meet the teacher time at the end of the summer. You never know if they're going to be in the same class with their friends or if they're going to connect with their new teacher. Her teacher this year, in 3rd grade, was actually a 2nd grade teacher last year so Maclaine was very familiar with her.

This year is turning out to be great so far! She has one of her good friends from last year in her class and she comes home and tells us that she loves her teacher and that she has a good sense of humor! So, we're off to a good start!


Here's Maclaine getting ready to head off to meet the teacher...
