Emerson was excited to wear her cute little Grizzly Cub shirt for her first spirit day Friday at Gilchrist. I wish I would have thought about dressing Addison in her purple Growing Room shirt for her own spirit day, but oh well. We’ll get them both in their school shirts on the same day together eventually….

Emerson was up early again, ready and excited to get dressed for another day of kindergarten. We’ve had this hand-me-down “pencil skirt” dress for a couple of years now, but it was too big. And then when she got to the point it would fit, I purposefully wanted to save it for when she started big girl school. And I’m so glad we did, because it was just perfect for her first week of school. I also think I did a great job on her hair again today, and she looked so beautiful!

Well praise the Lord, our first kindergarten drop-off went so well this morning! (Thank you to everyone who said a prayer for us today!) We stopped by Growing Room first to drop off Addison. Then we took Emerson so Dunkin for a special donut breakfast with Mommy & Daddy, before putting on her first-day-name-tag, and heading over to hop in the car line.

This little spaghetti strap shirt with daisy pants was always one of my favorite outfits of Emerson’s, and I love it on Addison too!

Addison did so good with her first day in her new class, with her new teachers, and we had a good drop-off. (And yes, I went back to the car and found her missing shoe in her car seat before we went inside.)

We went back to Generations Church again yesterday, and really enjoyed it again.

We started our morning with Trader Joe’s croissants, followed by packing up PopPop’s truck he nicely let us borrow, and then we hit the road on the way to Blue Springs over in Jackson County! It was a beautiful day, and we had a great time!

Today was a teacher planning day for Growing Room, and of course Emerson has been out of school this past week, so I took the whole day off (Jeff took off a half-day) to take care of the girls. Just as we planned, we started the day off with Trader Joe’s hash browns for breakfast today. I made mine into “avocado toast” with friend eggs like I’ve seen people do on TikTok, and it was delicious.

Since Addie had a fever yesterday and couldn’t return to school today, and Nana was already scheduled to take care of Emmie today, she volunteered to keep both girls for us. So since I didn’t have to go to daycare first, I decided to treat myself to Chick-fil-A breakfast on the way to the office. Their chicken breakfast burrito is so good, and I had to get an iced coffee to go with my home coffee, because I couldn’t fall asleep until 1am last night, and was absolutely exhausted this morning.

Today was Pajama Day at school for Addison, and she looked so stinking precious in these “big girl jammies,” that are of course some of Emerson’s hand-me-downs. (Most of Addie’s clothes are Emmie’s old clothes. She just had so many, and most are still in such great shape!)
