2nd Grade

Summer is officially over here in the Evans household.  We closed our shaved ice stand for the last time last night and Ali started her first day of 2nd grade today.  She was pretty excited to go see all of her friends again and get use to the school routine.  She was sad to say goodbye to swimming and playing at home all of the time.  Grant was excited for her too and kept saying "Ali gool, Ali teacher", but had a rough morning because he knew something was going down.  He kept clinging to me and wanting me to hold him.  Once Ali was gone he played just fine by himself and I think we will do just fine without her.  Ali wouldn't let me walk her into class today, she is too old for that I guess, but I saw her outside playing as I drove away and she seemed to be right back in the swing of things.   

This is Ali's new lunch bag that she ADORES because she thinks it looks like a purse.  

 Just a little side note:  I'm soooo glad I'm done with that ice stand!  Until next summer we get to enjoy that shaved ice in the convenience of our own home!!
