We continued with our milkshake tradition we started last year. I think it's one of my new favorite things. This year Josh joined us. It was so sweet to sit and share milkshakes with my two loves while Alex shared all about her first day of school.
We have moved Alex's bed time from 8:30 to 7:30. She wakes up so tired. I know it's just because she is getting used to longer days at school. It feels so weird to put her to bed while it is still light outside. After her bath each night we snuggle on our bed for a little while and play games on the iPad together as a family. It's such a sweet little ending to our day.
The one thing I am still trying to figure out is drop off and pick up. I've walked Alex into her kindergarten pod everyday so far. She has decided this morning will be the day she goes in alone! It takes about 5 minutes to drive to her school and another 15 to actually get through the line to drop off. The afternoons are crazier. Parents seriously start lining up a little after 2 for carpool. School gets out at 2:55. I'm still playing with what time to get there. Yesterday I arrived at 2:30 and was so far back in line I wasn't even in the school zone. Its hard to tell in the pic but this is just the line waiting to turn into the school. Once you turn in, you still have to snake through the parking lot. They actually have sheriffs out directing traffic every morning and afternoon. By the time I had Alex in the car it was 3:15. I've heard it gets better as people get used to drop off and pick up, but I've decided for now I need to take a book with me and be used to spending 30-45 minutes waiting in line for pick up.
