Getting ready for KINDERGARTEN!

Today we spent the day shopping for the upcoming school year. I have the entire week off of work and today was "school day". We started out by getting the rest of Madeline's "shots" needed to start school. She wasn't too happy about those. She got upset when she saw the needle, but then didn't even cry when they gave them to her. After that we headed out to buy all her school supplies. We only have a few things left to purchase so it was a good shopping trip. Next we met my mother at the store that sells the school uniforms. This was a big moment more for me than Madeline. I remember every year (12 years of them) that my mom brought me to the same store and I was measured for my uniform. Luckily today the uniform Madeline put on fit her perfect and no alterations were needed. I took a couple of pictures of Madeline in her uniform in the dressing room. She was a bit embarrassed at mommy wanting to get pictures of her in it, but I can tell she LOVED it has she pranced around in the store.


The style of uniform St. Edward requires for Kindergarten must also be worn until 3rd grade, then she may switch to a regular skirt. I love the jumper uniform. It has a stripe of red through it also and a red school logo sweatshirt or sweater can be worn too. The first day of school is August 13th, so it is coming up very quickly. It's amazing how fast time flies.

I hope everyone had a great 4th of July. It rained here and was pretty ugly, but we were able to set off fireworks by 10pm. We have a busy vacation week planned ahead, so until next time........
