We got IN!

Ok, so techinically Livi did, but OMGOODNESS we're SO excited!!! We never even entertained sending Livi to a Montessori school before about 4 months ago.....and then we went to an open house, asked around, talked to people, did our research, and you know what? I wanted her in one. BAD. The problem? Kids are enrolled from all over Erie County....it's a pretty big playing field for only a handfull or so of spots to fill. So once we submitted her 'application' it was a waiting and praying game. Because we put all of our eggs into this one basket.....
And then the letter came....
"To the parents of Olivia Kraus".....
and it sat there.....
we ordered food.....
it sat there.....
we ate dinner....
it sat there.....
we cleaned up.....
it sat there....
you would have thought that we were waiting for a college acceptance letter to arrive! I was so nervous that I made Mike open it. I mean, what if she didn't get in?? Where would she go? I don't like the Erie schools....I don't like the Millcreek schools....county schools are just too far to drive to and from every day....etc, etc, etc.
But...
SHE GOT IN!
We were stupid little children dancing around the kitchen with the kids and dog just looking at us like we lost our minds....we probably did....it was awesome!
And since she got in, Violet can get in no problem. AW.E.SOME!
Kindergarten here we come!!!
