Here's my Tuesday BLOG challenge! The other night my husband & I were talking about SCHOOL since our boy has started pre-school. This has sparked my challenge!
Remember how you felt the day before a brand new school year started? Or how about your first day of kindergarten or pre-school? Share your SCHOOL memories!!!
I usually felt nervous and excited all at the same time. I could barely sleep! Now starting a new school for Junior High & then High School....I usually felt a sense of dread. Especially when I had to start changing classes & remembering my schedule!! SICK to stomach for that first day. But I muddled through it all. And generally LOVED the school year give or take a few bad teachers or hard classes.
NOW....
I remember quite a bit about pre-school. My mother said that I bugged and bugged them to go to school, so they had to enroll me late in the year! I had a "boyfriend" named Andrew with blonde hair & blue eyes. And we kissed in the play area while the teacher wasn't looking. We had snacks every time we were there. I remember going down in the basement to be the SNACK HELPER for a day. I felt SO important carrying that can of juice. And my favorite game was Red Rover. In fact, my Mom came to pick me up while we were playing & I didn't want to leave. So, they called for me to "come over" one last time before I left.
For me, Kindergarten was ALL about riding the big yellow school bus for the first time. My Mom does have pictures of that! There was a little girl named Christabel who ran around kissing everyone. And, the day did have some MORE drama for me. My teacher Ms. Johnston was talking about NAP time. I raised my hand to ask if I had to take a nap because I didn't take naps. [My poor mother] Well, Ms. Johnston said "yes, everyone has to take a nap." I sulled up, crossed my arms, & sat there fighting back tears. I made a new best friend Laura Peters & we were inseparable. The best part of the year was a toss up between our awesome substitute Mrs. Garrett (an old old woman who taught us a really cool song called "Going on a Lion Hunt" & all the show & tell days.
What memories do you have to share??

Here's Kim's 2SCD blog challenge: (btw, which are really awesome questions)
1. What three famous people (dead or living) would you like to have dinner with?
John Lennon, Maya Angelou, & Rosa Parks
2. What celebrity would play you in a made for TV movie about your life?
Claire Danes
3. Is there anything you would go back and change in your life?
I'd go back & try to respect my parents more, cherish every bit of time with ALL my friends & loved ones not missing out on a moment, & tell more people I love them. I'd also probably go back in grade school & stand up for kids who were made fun of.
4. If you had more than enough money and could donate large sums to any worthy cause, what would that cause be?
Stopping child predators.
5. What is your dream career?
I wanted to be a teacher. But that's exactly what I am to my kids. So I pretty much have my dream career.

Oh my, Amber!! What fantastic photos! You like a bit like me...having a serious love for photography! I love the green in the background of the flowergirl. Good job!
That's my Brinley. I didn't feel comfy posting any pictures of the "other flower girl." Ya know? Infringe on some parental rights or something. Yep, that's my girl & my boy in the overalls.
