First Day of School

Today is Makaela's first day of 1st Grade!  She started a new school this year and was a little nervous about making new friends...which I'm sure she will accomplish by the end of the day!  We got the usual new school supplies, backpack (cutest EVER from Gymboree!), new clothes (Thank you Bad Grandma!), etc.  She woke up early, took a shower, ate breakfast, fixed her hair...and got ready to take some pictures.  I threw on some jogging pants, tshirt, put my hair up and put on a visor.  I told her she looked BEAUTIFUL!  She looked at me and with a forced grin told me that I looked "Good enough".  I love honesty!

Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep

Makaela said her prayers before bed, and afterwards she asked me, "If I open my eyes during the prayer, do I still get the prayer (blessings)?"  She is trying to figure out what is real and what is make believe.  She knows Heavenly Father, Jesus and the Holy Ghost are real and that prayers are answered- guess she was just wondering if there was a loophole!
