First Day of School

Our summer totally escaped us. We had SO much fun and ran until we couldn't run anymore so now we're back to reality. School started on Aug. 24th. The twins are in 4th grade and Breanna started Kindergarten. Denim is counting days until his preschool starts. He keeps telling me, "I won't cry, I will just have fun. OK?" Just me and him for 2 whole years.

Everyone outside of the school first thing in the morning. We have an excellent elementary school, they have made the highest rating possible for several years. Our kids seem very happy there and I like everyone I've ever dealt with up there.

Breanna's chosen first day of school outfit. Dan and I thought that she was brushing her teeth but she really had snuck into her bathroom and put on a temporary tattoo. Oh well, at least it washes off for the second day of school.

Everyone seems to be happy with their classes. Breanna had a little bit of a rough first week but has settled in wonderfully. She's teaching herself to read so I guess I may as well help her, she's SO ready. (Don't think I am.) The twins are such amazing little people, it seems like they are always 3 steps ahead of the rest of us. Wish school came as easily to everyone.

Breanna at her desk as we walked her in. She's so tall, she's taller than every other kid in her class, even the ones that have been kept back for another year. She sticks out like a sore thumb out at recess. Her teacher loves her and she seems to really like her teacher too so we're happy.

I have been asked to be the VIPS coordinator for our school this year so I am finding things to do to stay out of trouble. Feels good to be able to help with something to keep our school wonderful.
