Today is Anna Kate's first birthday!  My goodness, her first year has just flown by.  Her party is on Saturday and I will be there.

Mimz and I decided to have one last doughnut shop breakfast.  I always want a sausage and cheese kolache.  I wouldn't let Mimz take my picture.

At 11:45am Mimz and I met Barbara at Papa Murphy's next door to Sprouts.  Mimz was buying pizza for a back-to-school pizza party with Mimz neighbors.  I went home with Barbara so could get ready to go "meet the teacher" with Mommy at 1:30pm.

At 1:30pm Mommy and I arrived at Metzler Elementary School along with a couple hundred other students and their parent.  It was pretty exciting.

We found my room and I met my teacher, Mrs Jennifer Meredith.  She is pretty, tall, skinny, in her late 20's, and has short hair. She has been a teacher at Metzler for five years.  She was very nice.  I was a bit shy at first.  She said, "You and I will become best friends!"  Mommy took my picture with Mrs Meredith.

 We did a scavenger hunt type game.  We found the first place and we had to fill out our address and email address.  Next place we said I would be riding the bus.  My bus number is 170.

We were able to skip the school supply part because mine were ordered on-line long ago.

 Next we found the bathroom, which is right next door to my room.  (Cant get these pictures to rotate.  Will work on that problem.)

Next Mommy signed up to be a volunteer.

In the cafeteria we set up my school lunch account.  Lunches are $2.05 a day.  From now on Mommy can pay for them on-line.

We bought me a blue Metzler's Husky shirt.

I am all set.  While Mommy drove me to Mimz home, I called Barbara and told her everything I could remember that had happened.

I saw two boys that had been on my old baseball team, twins Cooper and Jacob.  They are in second grade.

My personal number at school is 3246.  This will be my number all the way through Middle School.   I am really really ready for kindergarten to begin!

Peyton, ,Brooke, Jenna, and their parents came over to Mimz home for our back-to-school party with Mimz, Daddy, and me.  I ate hamburger pizza.  After eating we went to an ice cream place (I've forgotten the name) and enjoyed ice cream.

Mimz drove me home and we visited for a few minutes talking about "meet the teacher" day and about our party.

 After Mimz left Barbara and I took a large tub filled with watermelon rind behind the fence...

 ... and we threw the pieces with all our energy.  Oh, what fun.  Barbara has told me several times I have the wrong leg forward to throw, but I keep forgetting.  Mommy and I went upstairs to brush my teeth and get ready for bed.  I played with mommy's phone until 9pm.... lights out time.

GGM and Barbara worked on a big project.  They cleaned the dining room chandelier.
