We started Friday morning off with a pedicure. NiNi, Emma, and I tried a new place just off of 280. We checked out the art gallery next door and left NiNi talking art and painting classes while Emma and I headed off to Taziki's for lunch with Camille, Caroline, Missie, and Lexie Liddell. We had a great time talking about who got what teacher what period and with which friends. We then headed over to the Jr. High to decorate the lockers and put books away. The lockers are decorated by the 7th grade girls "big sis'". I love this idea. I'm not sure when they started doing it, sometime after my days at Briarwood. The 8th grade girls pick an upcoming 7th grade girl to be a big sis to. They decorate your lockers and are there to answer questions about school, teachers, and whatever. This is what we found when we got to the school.
Emma's Big Sis sure knows her...candy!
We then set about decorating the inside of the locker. This is also a new thing since I was in school. It's cool to adorn your locker with wallpaper, rugs, lights, and such. We bought the leftover off of Caroline when we saw she wasn't going to be using it all. We had thought we would do wrapping paper but this worked out great.
(Not an actual picture of Emma and her locker, she wouldn't pose. This is Camille and Caroline's locker...since we bought her remnants, it looks like hers.)
Emma went about getting all of her things into the locker and then talked and goofed off with friends for a while. We moms had a good time seeing each other but as time passed close to 3:00 we had to go pick up Nolan from football practice. All in all, a fun day!
