First Day of School

Today the kids headed back to school.

Carley started 1st grade.

She's in a K/1st combination class. It's the only one at that school. Initially I was hesitant and had my doubts but I think it will be fine. The first three hours of school, the Kindergartners will be in her class. After lunch, the class will only have eleven 1st graders.

Either way Carley is excited to be back in school and having recess on the "big kid playground." She's going to Discovery Club after school program again this year for three days a week while I'm in school.


Josh started 4th grade.

I can't believe it, he's growing up so fast! He was not excited to be back in school. He's dreading the heavier homework load and most of his friends are in the other 4th grade class.

He did start attending Bridges after school program because my classes get out after his three days per week. He found that he loves Bridges. They play lots of outdoor sports.

I'm happy they're both back in school. It gives us routine. To celebrate, I'm taking them out to Baskin Robbins for ice cream. Then I can check it off the "summer list".
