School begins


This week school started up for the kids. It has been a contradiction in feelings for me this year. On one hand I'm ready for the kids to get back to school, out of my hair and on to a new and improved schedule.On the other, I've really enjoyed my kids this summer and feel like we just didn't get enough playing in. Also, I kind of miss them. THey are happy to be back though and don't even mind the homework so far. Alex is in 3rd grade this year. He is excited about his teachers. He has two that trade off days and they are on a beach theme this year. Sydney is in 5th grade and has a guy teacher. I'm told he is one of the best there is and she is excited for the change. SHe actually likes homework and is so happy to be back into it. Josh was so happy to get back to middle school this year in 7th grade. He has a locker and 8 different classes and teachers with honors classes that will give him plenty to keep him busy all year.

Megan starts headstart in about 2 weeks. She is SO excited. It will be so fun for her to be able to learn and go to school with the rest of the kids. She even gets to ride the bus! Until then we are enjoying a house that doesn't get dirty in 5 seconds and quite time with afternoon movies, cleaning out closets and organizing my computer.
All in all it is a good change and we are looking forward to a GREAT school year.

I LOVE U AND UR UPDATES!!
I love this time of year, because fall tho brief in idaho, is right around the corner. I agree it is also sad becasue it means the kids are a year older, Kenya is 15 and her first year in big high school. And OMG ur kids are growing too fast to, but at least you get a break, and some nan time...I think thats a first ;)
