Samantha's first day of kindergarten!!! Oh what drama! Of course we can't have a major event at our house without our friend Murphy (of Murphy's Law) stopping by and making his mark. It all started when Sami was so excited she couldn't get to sleep - and then a storm came through when she was almost to sleep and kept her awake even longer. So getting up at 6:30 this morning was a little painful for her - she was tired! But we got up and got ready for school, and pulled out of the driveway right on time. I should have known things weren't going to go smoothly when I walked outside and little (and some not-so-little) branches were just all over the ground! I had to move some rather large branches just to pull the Mustang out. Of course I get 3/4 down the driveway and there's a tree across the driveway and we can't get out! I called Marty and told him to bring the chainsaw. So he scooped up Lexi (who WAS asleep) and came out and attempted to clear the tree. Of course the chainsaw wouldn't start - took at least 15 minutes to get that going. Needless to say, we were late to school. I had called Sami's teacher so she knew we would be late. What a way to start. In any case, regardless of our rocky start to the day, we all had a good day anyway. While Sami was at school Laura and myself took Lexi to the park down the road. I even packed her a lunch in her lunchbox (like Sami's) and she ate a picnic lunch at the park! At least I picked up Sami on time and she was tired but in a great mood and told me all about what she did today on the way home. She seemed to have a real good time at school and she's already looking forward to doing it again (minus the tree) tomorrow!
