First Day Tomorrow


Lunch is packed
Clothes are picked out
Amelia's been asleep for an hour and half
Abigail finally followed a few minutes ago

Outfits are a big deal
Amelia is in a dress made by Grandma
Abigail was in the same until a last minute change
She wanted something more "pajama-y"
Safer that way

She is worried
Doesn't want to make a mistake
Doesn't know how to do nap time
Already knows everything they will teach
Already has plenty of friends

Amelia isn't fazed
Hasn't given it too much thought
Looking forward to being wild
She told Abigail accidents help you learn
It will be okay

We are freaking out
No kindergartener drug dealers, right?
What if they are lonely?
What if they need a hand wiping?
Will they be good?
Will they listen?
Are they ready?
Are we ready?

Maybe the questions are the answers
Destin Elementary be warned - The Kline girls have arrived

Glad you all survived the day.
Can't wait to see the pictures and hear more. They'll be the bestest students Destin has ever seen.
