1st day as a 3rd grader and Bus Rider

Today was Mack's 1st day of school as a 3rd grader!!!
She woke up before the alarm clock went off, I think she was EXCITED!
Me...Not so much! I could barley lift my head up off the pillow. Ha!
We made it to school on time, snapped a picture of her walking in & I felt like it was her 1st day of Kindergarten all over again. She headed into the activity room & took a seat & did not act like she was nervous one bit about a new school year in a new school!!! I love that about her!
Ever since Mack was in Kindergarten she has begged & pleaded to ride the school bus, I on the other hand, felt that I wanted to be the one to pick her up from school! After all, that is why I have the schedule I do! On Friday night as I was laying in bed (thinking and trying to go to sleep), I thought, "Why Not??" Our street was literally the 1st stop on the way home from school, so it worked GREAT!  So, when I took her in this morning I changed her form from a car rider to a bus rider and when I saw her at the bus stop she was grinning ear to ear! I asked her how it was and she said that the bus driver drove crazy ( we related it to how it is when she rides with her Aunt Heather-Ha!!) and I then asked her did she have AC in there and she said, I don't know but you could feel the wind! ; ) I enjoyed being able to get a few thing done in that 45 minutes! So, in my book...she's an OFFICIAL bus rider!
Great 1st Day. Well, except for the whole getting out of the bed part for me!!! ; )

Cannot believe she's in 3rd grade. I hope she has a wonderful year. I remember so much about 3rd grade. It was my favorite grade - had Mrs. Blanton. :) Grant wants to ride the bus too but I haven't let him yet. Although I have a feeling with Mac starting this year I'll have two on my case about it. Maybe next year. ;)

Oh and LOVED the back to school party. Such a great idea! May I please borrow some of your creativity?
