First Day of School!

I have survived the longest, yet shortest summer ever! Yippee! the three oldest kids started school today. Cole headed off to the high school with his friend, Joey this morning. It was a little hard not to actually drop him off or walk him in--that 's a first. I realized I only have 3 more "first days" with him. He didn't seem nervous, but I guess I am nervous enough for both of us! He has my friend, Cris Dunlap for Spanish and the regular freshman classes--Algebra, PE, English, Keyboarding and an art class. He will do great!

Braden and Cassidy headed off to Ponderosa for 2nd and 4th grade. Cassidy has Mrs. Waring. Cole had her and she is amazing. Cassidy will have a fabulous year. Braden has a teacher that I met for the first time this morning. She seems really excited and haas a great class. Braden was excited to see most of his good friends in the same class. I am sure this will be a good year for him as well.

Abigayle will start preschool on Thursday. She will only go two days a week, but we are both looking forward to it. I love this preschool--the other 3 have gone there as well. The other kids are a little jealous that she will be able to go for two years. Each of them only did one! Just one of the benefits of being the youngest child! There really aren't that many when you consider all of the time she spends watching them play sports or driving around picking them up and dropping them off.

This morning has been busy! I have washed loads of laundry, cleaned the kitchen, been to the store and played Hi Ho Cherry-O! I love the school year!
