Back to School

"Back to school! Back to school, to prove to Dad that I'm not a fool! I got my lunch packed up, my boots tied tight, I hope I don't get in a fight! Ohhhh, back to school! Back to school! Back to school!" I will give you a quarter if you can tell me what movie that quote is from (without googling it.)

This was the song playing in my mind this morning as I took Annabella to her first day of first grade. She was excited today and didn't seem nervous at all. Yesterday was a completely different story, though. It was a rough day and I could see her nerves getting the best of her. We went to school for Open House and met her teacher, saw her room and dropped off all of her supplies. Today, she is looking forward to seeing her Aunt Patti after school. Our family is arriving this afternoon and staying for 8 days. I think the excitement of seeing them distracted her from this being her first day. Getting ready for our company is also going to distract me from worrying about my baby all day. I hope she has a great day. Here is she is:
