My big girls started school on the 16th. For their first day I made them each a Schultute to celebrate the special occasion. Traditionally in Germany they are for a child’s first day of the first grade, but I think I’ll start doing this each year just because it’s fun.
Mine are not as big as those German babies get and they were very last minute. I used old party hats I still had from Lily’s first birthday and scrounged around the house for goodies to fill them with.
I was so happy to have the parade candy still around and some things from Spring gift baskets. The girls loved them!
Clara all ready to go!
Lily was not happy that she couldn’t go with Clara poor thing. But I explained that she would get to go after lunchtime. Uh and yes, Gerhardt is nude, on the front porch…he didn’t go with Clara either.
I remembered to snap this picture as they walked away and I thought back to last year and Lily’s first day of pre-school.
After lunch it was finally Lily’s turn!
The girls are doing very well and like the new teacher we got this year. I like her too. She’s a member of our church and interesting fact, her father built our parsonage.
