Hali Annette Salerno's First Day of Kindergarten!!


August 17Th, 2009




Today was Hali's "official" first day of kindergarten. She went to school today from 0840 to 1140. It doesn't seem like much time, but today it was to me..... It felt like I was home for a long time before I was able to go pick her up. I am almost... OK 100% positive she didn't feel the same way as I did while she was at school!

Like a true little sisters Alexis said "me to" and got her "pack-pack" on to take a picture. Notice that she is also the one holding Sadie..... poor little dog!

Me and my "baby girl"! Can you tell Hal Bug hates to have the sun in her eyes.


(FYI, that is not a real tattoo on my arm!)




Hali showing off her pink backpack before we got in the car.



I think she looks way to "grown up" in this outfit, but dang cute!



This bench is in front of the school. We had to try three different spots before we found one that the sun wasn't in her eyes.



Waiting by the kindergarten door with some of the other kiddos! Oh, and don't forget little sis!

Each morning the kids find their name and what color square they are supposed to sit on. Obviously today Hali's was orange!!



Hali had an awesome day. When I picked her up from school she was on cloud nine!!



They had a little "game" of finding the gingerbread man at school. He was in the kitchen and somehow came to life! The kids got to learn about the school as they "searched" for the gingerbread man. The only problem was they didn't find him today.



So of course the first thing Hali told me when she got in the car was, "Mom the kitchen made a gingerbread man and he came to life and ran away and now we can't find him. We need to go right home and look for him in our house..... maybe he's on my shelf, maybe he's under my bed, maybe he's in your closet......etc. etc....



I don't think she could talk any faster as she was telling me the story! Hali also called Grandma, and Dad to tell them, "Tell all the people at your work to look for the gingerbread man, make sure and tell them to keep their eye's peeled!" Hali also said to Grandma, "Grandma, I'm serious you need to tell them.... Do I sound serious?""



As you probably already guessed we spent the rest of the day looking for the gingerbread man. Hali even made a couple traps for him. She also suggested making a girl gingerbread man that he would see and want to marry!



I love this little girl and her imagination. What an awesome first day of kindergarten for my little Hal Bug!
