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.

Hello School

Today the boys were up extra early, and ready to go to school. They were a little excited and a bit nervous too. We even left the house ten minutes early. Both of the boys made it to school just fine, and we dropped by to say hi to preschool too. Agnes and I are going to enjoy a much needed quiet day at home today.

I hope the boys have a fantastic day at school. I also hope that they have a great year too.

Thade starts fifth grade today.

Dylan is in the second grade.

Agnes will be joining her brothers this year, she starts preschool in a week.

As for today, we’ll be spending some girl time, and enjoying the quiet. I can’t wait to hear all about their first day back to school though. Happy Thursday everybody!

And We Are Off

Well today is the day that the boys haven’t been too excited about, but I’ve been looking forward to it. This morning we are off to school enrollment, and that means we are a little closer to the start of the school year. We’ll get to find out who the boys will have for teachers this year, and hopefully the little guys will see some of their friends too.

They haven’t made it downstairs yet. They are none too pleased with me this morning. I hope that enrollment goes smoothly though. Agnes is dressed and ready to go, I think she is ready for the school year to start too.

Getting Ready For School

This week we have been getting back to the school routine, and getting supplies too. Last weekend we took the boys to pick up their new glasses, and all three kids to buy new school supplies too.

The boys like their glasses. I think that Dylan looks super cute in his first pair.

Back to school shopping was a bit harrowing. The boys were none too pleased with shopping for school, but Agnes was extra excited. We came home with everything on three different lists, and even came in under budget too. I’ve got everything organized in the kitchen, and ready for the first day of school.

Last night was preschool enrollment for Agnes. We all went along with her, she was a little nervous. Once she spotted her teachers, and remembered the classroom, she lit up, ran around, and was already making friends. All of her paperwork was in order, and she will start preschool in September.

She was so excited all day for enrollment, she crashed out shortly after dinner. I think all of that preschool planning and excitement completely wore her out.

We still have a few weeks before school starts. I have the boy’s enrollment next week. I hope it goes well, and maybe they will cheer up a little if they spot some of their friends at enrollment too. I’m going to enjoy these last few days of lazy Summer while we have them.
