Parkway and Peanuts

Tonight, we went to Parkway for "Meet Your Teacher" night. It's a great way for the kids to see their classroom, meet their teacher, and visit with their friends before the first day of school. Cole is a pro, with tonight being his 3rd time to do this. He enjoyed catching up with his buddies and is upset that school doesn't start for 3 more days. For Mary Conlee, this was the first of many more to come. She was so excited to find her cubbie with her name on it. Cole was thrilled that MC will be sitting at the green table. "That's where I used to sit, Mae Mae," he told her. Her teacher is a good friend of mine from my old teaching days, so I know MC will be well taught and well loved! Judd jokingly pulled up MC's dress to reveal her monogrammed bloomers and told the teacher to check there if she forgot her name. And if they forget which day it is, they can just take a peek at her "days of the week" panties! My friend, Tina, asked me what Mary Conlee was wearing her first day of school. I don't know which dress, but it will be smocked and accompanied with a huge bow and a pair of monogrammed bloomers, that's for sure!

After Parkway, we met Causey and Bounds (along with their parents) for dinner at Logan's. The peanuts are the kids' favorite things to eat! Bounds was eating the peanuts- shell and all, while MC was licking the salt off each shell. What a circus! Although Causey and MC will be going to different schools, it was funny to listen as they shared their stories from tonight. Causey said his favorite part of the classroom was the cash register. "And, we get to cook in a REAL kitchen once a week, Mae Mae." Her eyes got as big as saucers and she said, "Oh my word!" I'm sure there will be lots of "oh my word" moments this year as these two become submersed in public school kindergarten! But they are both so excited to begin their journey! Their mommies just need to smile and let them fly! That will be the hardest part.
