Last night was Meet The Teacher night at Centennial. Mrs. Stewart is Brynn's first grade teacher and seems super nice. Brynn discovered that her good friend Lily is in her class this year, along with a couple of other girls whom she befriended in Kindergarten. After meeting her teacher in person and seeing familiar faces, Brynn became more excited to start school. She had been saying she wasn't very excited up until now, as she was nervous meeting new friends and thought school might be too hard. I'm glad and relieved that she is looking forward to this school year. In fact, you can see for yourself how excited she is by watching this video. :-) Brynn's Video Selfie She is always taking pictures and video of herself.
After the school festivities, we were then on to Penny's (Brynn's piano teacher) for the Treasure Hunt. The current theme at lessons is pirates. Each year she does a back-to-school get-together, so this year she had a treasure hunt in her backyard and we made s'mores. It was fun to meet the other students. Unfortunately it was a pretty chilly evening, but thankfully we warmed up a little by the fire pit.

Speaking of back to school...we have been busy preparing Brynn's school supplies for her big day tomorrow. This included sharpening 24 #2 pencils....with that crappy pencil sharpener shown below. Brynn started out sharpening them herself, but proved to need a little assistance. She was frustrated that we didn't have an electric sharpener.
So, I had to take over sharpening the rest, but I too, soon became frustrated with our lack of a better sharpener! Due to my blister I developed below here, we had to wait for Daddy to come home to finish the task.
"Work smarter, not harder," Daddy always says. Job's done. :-P
Last weekend, we spent a little time out at Dead Lake where Clara had her first pontoon ride..which she pretty much slept through. Ha.
I know I've been lacking on the Clara updates and pics lately, but I am looking forward to some more one-on-one time with her now that Brynn will be headed back to school. So, hopefully that will allow me to be more with it on pics and updates! I can say that she is still doing very well and growing like a weed! I feel like she is literally growing before my eyes.
