First Day of First Grade

Today both the kids started first grade. They are both now officially in big kid school. Last night Emily was so excited she was bouncing off the walls, so I put some music on for her to dance to. After a few songs I had to tape one so I went with Love Story by Taylor Swift. Here is the video of her dancing and singing. This morning they both got up and were ready to get off to school. They had breakfast then got ready. Cody didn't care what he wore as long as he got to wear his tennis shoes. He was so happy because on the box it said the shoes have air in them. Emily has had her clothes picked out sense we went shopping. I took a photo of them together and then we were off to walk to school.
When I picked them up I asked how they liked it this year, both the kids said they really liked it. I was really happy to find out Cody knew quite a few kids in his class and Emily knew almost everyone I think and they both said they liked the teachers. Emily's best part of the day she said was making her own name tag, she said she used lots of pink. Cody said his highlight was that he gets to sit next to Lilly and lunch was yummy. I then took them to my work for a after school treat. Cody always gets the marshmallow brownie and Emily went with a cherry cream cheese pastry. Cody decided it was fun to untie Michelle's apron so she told him if he did it again she was going to kiss him, well he did it again. I feel kind of bad for her, she made the mistake of laughing so now anytime we go I know Cody will be going after the strings. After they finished the treats we went by the wishing pond and tossed in some coins for a wish. Emily had to stop and check out Dan's car on the way back to ours, one of these days I'm going to talk him into switching me. We got home and the kids did some reading, I taped Cody reading "There was a old lady who swallowed a shell". He thinks its a very funny book and has been trying to read it all, i got a just a few pages of him.Here is just a random photo from about a week ago. At day care the kids put food coloring in water and then took these white flowers, as the flowers drank the water it changed the colors and I thought they were really cool. When I went to take a photo Cody popped his head in and I thought it was cute.
