{Carly didn't want to take a "before" picture,
this self portrait in the car was the best I could get}
{The first half-day seemed to go fine, although Carly said that listening to the teacher was stressful? She also informed me that I had homework as she passed me a big stack of forms to fill out.}
{After they finished their half day, a few friends came over to eat lunch.Carly chose the menu - macaroni & cheese, chicken strips, and fruit.
She also wanted AnnOlivia cupcakes for dessert.}
{I love that only 1 out of the 9 didn't wear their blue uniform shirt today.
Do you think they planned that?}
{We had 2- 7th graders, 4- 5th graders, 2- 4th graders, and a 2nd grader. 
{They talked about their teachers and who was in their rooms. The 4th graders talked about their lockers because this is their first year for them to have lockers. They talked about what their teachers said. The older ones gave pointers to the younger ones. They exchanged locker numbers (so they can slip each other notes).They talked about the fact that the 7th graders had homework!}
{They laughed and giggled and squealed like only a group of girl-friends do.

{We had 2- 7th graders, 4- 5th graders, 2- 4th graders, and a 2nd grader. Even though there is a wide range of ages, they all get along really well.
They all ended up playing hide 'n seek together - in the house!
The only downfall was it was too hot to play outside after they ate lunch (heat index 115).}
