First day Of School

These three headed off to high school today.  Mason was more excited than she has ever been for school to start.  I am so happy that she can walk to school now!  The end of the day report from her was great overall.  The end of the day report from her mom is that I am so overwhelmed with all of the new class information!  Her orchestra teacher wants all of the students to have a private teacher at home.  Hmm, I wonder how we add that to piano lessons, daily practice for two instruments, regular homework and two classes (Honors English and Gifted Great Books) with lots of required reading?  Can we go back to middle school?




This handsome gentleman started second grade today and lucked out and got one of our top choices for a teacher.  He has a little adjusting to do without his big sister at school with him anymore or his best friend (he was moved to another school because of boundary changes).  He did rate his day a 9 out of 10, though.  Mom's report is that he did great!  I can't say that we were ready for the big homework project we did tonight, though.  I guess that is not saying much when you consider that I am not ready to be packing lunches again either.  Is it too soon for Lunchables?

This sweet baby girl went to 6th grade today!  She has a pretty good schedule.  Her main concern is that she is the only 6th grader in Advanced Orchestra and the older kids were whispering to each other about "how cute she is".  I told her to just enjoy being the little cute kid and she will make friends in no time.  Mom's report is only this:  Holy Cow, how can there possibly be so many people driving to this school in the morning that we have to ditch the car on the side of the road and run down the street to make it on time????


Hannah tried to shrink so she could get in Dylan's class line.

Some second grade classroom buddies!

I snuck a quick shot of the back of his head at his new table.
