School Days...

This was our first full week of the new school year. I have kids at all three schools now plus one at the School of Mommy (Everett.)

Delaney started high school. I know, hard to believe, huh? I drove to the school at the end of the first day, saw the junior/senior aged boys standing outside and told her I was going to home school her now! (Those boys are big and look like men!)

Cooper is in 7th grade now. He is most happy to be done with 6th grade he said...that was a hard adjustment for him because 6th grade goes to the middle school. So we moved here, he started at a new school in 5th grade, then the next year for 6th he had to go to another new school. I think he feels more settled now. In this photo he's actually happy ~ that expression on his face is just from the sun in his eyes!

Brody is my little man who is starting 3rd grade. I think he's happy that he finally lost his two front teeth this summer ~ everybody else seems to start losing them in kindergarten! His teacher this year is supposedly very strict and rumor is she is a 'yeller' so we'll see how it goes. He did complain to me yesterday that "Third grade is so hard. Every time we come in from recess we have to work!" Hmmmm...

Nash started kindergarten. He asked me, "Do I really have to go every day?" The first two days were a struggle, but now he is happy to go and has already made new friends. Luckily, his best bud is in his class ~ that really helps.

Look at Layne - looks good doesn't he? He is getting way skinny. Layne's classes changed a bit this year. He won't be teaching Spanish, which he will miss, but he will be teaching Honors Language Arts as well as regular Language Arts. In addition he will be teaching a journalism class and working on the yearbook with the students.
