6:30 - it took a few extra shakes but Mary Margo woke up and was surprisingly pleasant. We tip toed around the hallway so we didn't wake Dottie.
6:45am - dressed, hair brushed, shoes on, breakfast on the table - "I'm ready to go to Kindergarten, NOW!"
7:00am - Convo with Mary Margo over breakfast
"You know what I am going to do today while you are at school? I am going to go to the grocery store, and fold clothes."
Mary Margo's response, "Or you could watch a movie."
7:15am - our Estimated Time of Departure
7:17am - building a LEGO airplane tower so it can be in her picture with her
7:18am - pose for picture - drop the airplane tower - LEGO's EVERYWHERE!
7:20am - Crisis contained, picture taken, to the car we go.

So big! I can't believe she is already in kindergarten. And it is great after 5 years of parenting she gave you permission to sit around and watch a movie while she is gone. :) She will have a great year. I wish my kids got the chance to go to AEEC!
so sweet...i know today is tough; been there myself twice now!! it's hard to let them grow up:(
