HA HA HA!!!! What a great laugh we shared tonight!Today was the first day of 5th Grade for Kyra. Although she had picked out her clothes last night, of course she changed her mind this morning... The goal was to be ready to leave by bus time, 8:10 a.m. Because I hit snooze on the alarm clock, we were still eating breakfast then. So I resolved to drive her to school. As she finished breakfast and went to brush her teeth I realized the bus still hadn't come. We walked outside at 8:25, heard our neighbors still in their driveway waiting on the bus, and then we drove on to school. Do we have a new bus driver that comes later than our regular bus driver has in the past? I didn't think too much about it since I needed to get to work. In the car drop-off line I told Kyra she is growing way too fast and we talked about how I would cry when she graduates from elementary school at the end of the year, and middle school, and high school, and college. Later in the morning I looked on Facebook and noticed that a neighbor posted that the bus never came because the lights didn't work. Glad I didn't wait around!
Kyra's spending tonight with her dad. I called her to see how her first day of 5th grade went. She said it was good, that Grace has chubbier cheeks than she had last year, that she had fun playing with Colleen and Grace during recess, and then gave me the bad/funny news. It turns out, that in our haste to buy school supplies, we didn't look at the type of composition books that we picked up. The school supply list for 5th grade called for two Mead, black/white, composition books. I didn't realize the insides were different... When purchasing school supplies, we simply grabbed two from the big stack. We didn't look too closely at them and they stayed in the bag of other school supplies until Thursday. We took school supplies into her classroom on orientation day, Thursday. When she got to school today, they went through their supplies (already located at their desks), and she realized we had purchased the kindergarten/first grade type of composition book. They were the ones with the wide-spaced lines with dashed lines between for beginning writers! She said her first thought was that I did it on purpose because I didn't want her growing up so fast. She showed it to her friend, Bryce, who is sitting beside her and he laughed hard out loud! She told her teacher that her mom purchased the wrong type and her teacher at first said that it would maybe be okay. But when she looked at it, she said it wouldn't work, so she'd need to get the correct age composition books. Of course I didn't make this purchase on purpose, but we got a huge laugh out of it today. Her dad is going to take her shopping to get the right size composition book this evening. Too funny!
