Growing Too Fast

I had Savannah wear the same outfit she wore the first day of school, can you believe the change in just 9 months! Today is Savannah's last day of first grade. I just cant' believe it! This year flew by so quickly. Here she is the first day of school with her Strawberry Shortcake backpack, which she ditched the middle of the year. She came home one day saying she didn't want to take it anymore. After much probing she finally admitted it was just to babyish. WHAT?! REALLY?! Apparently everyone else had Hannah Montana or High School Musical. From then on she carried another bag she already had. Her hair has grown. She had her first bad hair cut experience two days before school started. We thought the lady understood what "just above the shoulders" meant. Savannah cried and cried. It was so short she could barely tuck it behind her ears. She has only had two, maybe three hair cuts since. Now she walks around petting her head and flipping her hair all around b/c she thinks it's so long and soft. It's pretty funny really. BUT she will still put it in pig tails, yeah!! Her new question is, "Mom, is there something on my face? Is my hair messy?" It's a funny question especially since most of the time she has her pants unbuttoned, because it's too much trouble and her underwear is hanging out... and her shirt is covered in syrup from breakfast or ketchup from lunch. She is my messiest child! But by golly she wants that face clean! It's been a great year, with another great teacher. Thank you Lord for Mrs. M this year! Be good to teachers, they really work way harder than we could imagine!

On another note, our 9th anniversary is tomorrow.. YEAH! We are heading to my parents with a load full of kids and the stuff that comes along with it! Fun huh? I sure didn't know 9 years ago we'd be here now, with 3 kids! It's a great place to be and I'm ever so grateful! We do plan to go out while we are there. Happy Anniversary Baby! You better know I love you!

Life is good.
