First Day of School!

Kenzie started back to school today at St. Pius X. She's enrolled for Mon/Wed/Fri preschool. Last year she went Tues/Thurs, so we're gradually easing her into the full week schedule she will have when she starts Kindergarten.

I am so out of practice with getting around and out the door! Not only did I leave her lunch I'd made the night before, but I also forgot to pack her pillow and blanket for nap time, and we were late getting out the door because Cooper had a major diaper blowout just minutes before we needed to be on our way - funny how he seems to time those so perfectly. Thank goodness Brien will be taking Kenzie each morning to make sure she gets there on time! Splitting up responsibilities makes everything go so much more smoothly.

Here is Kenzie's first day of school picture from last year. I intentionally did her hair in pigtails and headband this morning so we could compare to see how much she has grown up in the last year. (Notice the lunch here that's missing in the first picture.)

I had to include a picture of Kenzie's new backpack I found at a garage sale for $3 this summer. It is high quality, looks brand new and was already monogrammed with "Mackenzie" - what are the odds?

Despite all the chaos starting out, Kenzie had a great first day in Mrs. Heinrich's class. She even got picked to be the class helper. We look forward to another fun year of preschool, and next year Connor will get to join in the fun.
