So, I got the day off! But my kids didn't. This actually ended up working out quite nicely! Anna had a program up at school this morning, and I got to go to it! How exciting! I also got to take her lunch again, which was just awesome.

I got there with enough time to snap some shots of Anna after her class came in and sat down.

Ugh.  She's not in focus.  Stupid striped shirt behind her, and stupid D7000 with only 39 focus points!  I just need to make sure she's wearing a striped shirt from now on for stuff like this.  Anyway, this kind of cracked me up … — Ugh.

Anyway, this kind of cracked me up and reminded me of when I was in elementary and they would cram us all in there criss-cross applesauce, and then yell "MOVE BACK" like a hundred times so they could jam another row of students down in front.

So this was my view of her performance.  :(  I was craning to get that good of a view.  Must get there earlier next time! — So this was my view of her performance. :( I was craning to get that good of a view. Must get there earlier next time!

I half stood up to get a slightly better pic.  They sang America the Beautiful and flapped these plates around.  It was cute. — I half stood up to get a slightly better pic. They sang *America the Beautiful* and flapped these plates around. It was cute.

And out of fear that everything was out of focus, I snapped another pic of her before I left.  :) — And out of fear that everything was out of focus, I snapped another pic of her before I left. :)

I didn't get any pictures at lunch, and it was the craziest day for me schedule-wise. I was up at the school at 9:00 for the program, then back up there at 11:15 for lunch, then back again at 12:40 for early dismissal. I should have just stayed up there all day. Ha! At least Josh dropped her off for me this morning.
