Day Two

Well this morning went a little bit smoother than yesterday. The weather cooperated, and the kids were better about getting up and ready. We left five minutes earlier, and that saved about ten minutes of traffic time.

The kids all had a pretty great first day. Thade said that the sixth grade is completely boring. Dylan loved his new teacher, and he is also enjoying the new school too. Agnes said it was pretty fun, but she was tired, and still a little worried.

This morning Agnes was still a little reluctant to go, but she made it through the kindergarten door. I hope she has a great second day.

I’m still adjusting too. Yesterday, I was a bit of a nervous wreck, but today I’m a bit calmer. I’m also enjoying the quiet time, and I’m finally all caught up on laundry. Dishes will be caught up next. This week I’m just taking a few days easy, and next week I’m deep cleaning the kids rooms. They are long over-due. Time to go and make some lunch. Happy Friday everybody!

 

The First Day of School

Well we made it. Up early, dressed, out the door, forty minutes of drive time, and no tears. Oh yeah! Let’s hope that tomorrow goes well too.

I’m enjoying the day so far. I’ve been catching up on a little netflix, and doing lots of housework. It is strange just how quiet the house is today, but it is really nice. Time to go and make some lunch, and get to work on a crochet project.

This Week

This is our last full week of Summer vacation. We’ve timed our new school route, and we have just a few items left on the school supply shopping list. We’ve also begun the task of earlier bedtimes, and earlier wake times. Today, everyone is grumpy. Me included.

Tomorrow we visit Agnes’ class, and she is really excited. I think the boys are going to go along too. Dylan has offered Agnes a complete tour of his old school.

It is going to be strange with everyone in school, but I think it will be good too. Time to get to it, I hear my oven beeping.

Two Weeks To Go

The Summer break is wrapping up, and we have just two weeks before school begins. In some ways we are ready to go, and in some ways not so much…

We have just a few more supplies that need to be purchased. The biggest kiddos are still looking for backpacks, and I need to get a few supplies for Thade’s gym class.

I’ve cleaned out every kiddo’s closet and dressers. The kids have grown so much over the Summer, so we are also going to have to do some back to school clothes shopping.

I hope we can get it all done in time. Once they are back in school, I’m going to be de-cluttering the house like crazy!

 

 

School Enrollment

Yesterday was school enrollment day, and my goodness it was a very long day… It took us about two hours to enroll all of the kiddos this year, and we were all pretty tired after the day.

Thade got his first Middle School schedule and locker, the tiny ones are excited about their new teachers. Agnes was a little bummed that I wasn’t dropping her off for her first day.

We are going to practice the new school run. This year I’ve got three kids in three different schools, so we need to get a schedule down quick. The school times this year are also starting earlier, so we’ll see how that goes.

We still have a few weeks before school officially begins, so we are going to enjoy the free time while we’ve got it.
