1st grade

I actually don't have any funny things that Mckenna said. Well that's not true. I asked her a question tonight and she said "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Now the chances of that happening are slim to none!
Braeden starts 1st grade tomorrow and I'm so excited for it! He's not-tonight he started complaining about how he doesn't get to sleep in anymore...not a great start. I have been trying to figure out why I am so excited for Braeden to go to 1st grade. And I think I figured it out tonight when I was talking to Braeden. See, I LOVED my first grade teacher, Mrs Mackiewicz. I was in a 1-2 split class and I think I remember more from that class then most grades. Mrs Mackiewicz was a wonderful teacher and I just want Braeden to love his 1st grade teacher as much as I loved mine. I saw my teacher a few years ago in a Lee ann Chin's restaurant. She remembered my name and everything!
Braeden has Mrs Burns. She is the lead teacher for the team, and I guess she has wonderful and creative ideas. The day we found out who his teacher was, I was praying that God would put him in the right class for him. I truly believe that He has, and I am SO excited to see what God has planned for our family this school year!

Mckenna on...

Once again, it has been a long time since I wrote anything, so I thought I would share some of my favorites.
...sleep: "I can't sleep without you!" That's her new thing-she needs to sleep with people in order to sleep right now....kind of annoying.
...rules: "These are the rules. I. Don't. Listen." how true is that!
...love: "I love Daddy." Do you love me? "No. Braeden loves you." I guess she can only love one parent and I didn't make the cut.
...the elderly: "Look at that old GIRL! She's so old! Look at her! It's an old girl!" I missed this one, but Ryan told me about it. I think they were at the grocery store or something. She also likes to yell when she sees an "old man."
I am pretty sure there are a ton more, but my brain is fried at the moment. More to come!
