First Day of School

This Wednesday was Petra's first day as a kindergartener, and Thea's first day as a first grader.  The morning was nothing short of an adventure, and we took pictures to memorialize the occasion.

Thea and Petra excited about school and their new uniforms.

Petra--always prepared--made sure she had a backpack that could double as a tent…should the need arise.

They gave Petra the high hook.

Petra is excited to begin!

And here is something different; Thea drew a picture to explain her first day of school:

This is obviously very informative.  As we can see, Thea spent some of her time dreaming of peace and love.  Apparently there was a boy behind her who wore glasses and brought a failed bonsai to decorate his desk.  And finally there is an unfortunate girl who got stuck with the class's only triangular desk.  She appears to be drinking coffee, and--from what I can tell--is a fan of Johnny Appleseed's headwear.  "Scool" is cool!

 

Oh…and Ivy's not in school yet:
