We finally finished painting and putting kaleb's bed together. Looks pretty good. Originallt, it was a stained wood-grain bed.
Total cost: bed from craigslist($350), new coat of blue paint($30).
Similar bed from Pottery Barn Kids($1200)
For a flippin GARBAGE bowl, just because Rachel Ray is on it.
(Sorry charles)
Kierra gets in a quick run while watching 'Fairly Odd Parents'.
Ms. Mac (Kaleb's teacher, Ms. MacWilliams) sits down to help Kaleb feel more at home on his first day at school.
We hung around the classroom for a few minutes while other (late) kids showed up to class.
The school was pretty chaotic, lots of parents, lots of kids, lots of cars, and NO BUSES! What the hell?!? Apparently, if you leave <3 miles from the school you can't take the bus.
It's not a big deal for us, since hopefully we can start to ride our bikes to school when the whether gets cooler. But 3 miles is pretty far for some kids/parents.
Kaleb waits patiently for his other table-mates to arrive (there are 4-5 kids per table).
And Christina says goodby on Kaleb's first day at elementary school kindergarten.
Kaleb walks into his kindergarten classrom for the first time.
The last picture is of Kaleb's desk-mates. Notice that there are 3 girls at his table. I think there is supposed to be at least 1 other boy, but maybe he wasn't there yet. (They were assigned tables).
His teacher is Ms. MacWilliams (Ms. Mac). She seems quite nice and is somehow able to watch what each kid needs out of the corner of her eye (impressive).
The school is really nice, lots of windows in the hallways.
His classroom has ~4 tables and ~18 kids. There are lockers in the room for the kids, 3 computers, lots of arts/crafts stuff, painting easels, and even their own bathroom IN the classroom!
Dropped off kaleb. Chrissy hasn't cried "yet".
Kierra wore a dress and heels. She's gonna be upset when we tell her she can't wear heels to kindergarten.
Kaleb did fine. In fact, he pretty much ignored us after a while, I'm guessing he was trying to get us to leave.
We'll post more videos and pictures after we get them off the camera.
