The first day

The first day of school was exciting. I was glad to get me kids back on a schedule, but sad that the summer seemed to go so fast. Too fast. The kids were excited too, but Emma of course had to remind me that school isn't so cool when you are a 6th grader.

Ben was so cute! He wanted to have his picture taken with his new teacher Mrs. Hansen. We have heard such great things about her and so far I am really impressed. She loves M&Ms. And she does so many fun things with them. They have been challenged to read 100 books this year. Ben took this challenge seriously. He is already over 60, but is a little sad because he was not the first one to 100.

As I mentioned, Emma is too cool for school this year. All though she is a very good student and always gets her homework done right away. But she wouldn't have her picture taken with her teacher and rolled her eyes when I took one outside the classroom. She has a male teacher for the first time and was really excited about that. So far I think he is doing a great job. Emma seems to like him and he is "funny like her dad" she says.

A couple weeks later Lucy started preschool. She loves it!! She has a few little friends that carpool with her and they have such a great time. They love to play together after we get home. She tells me everyday that she has to look cute and wear her best clothes. Such a funny girl.

Spencer is missing the other kids. When Lucy is gone, it is a lot harder to keep him entertained. He misses her a lot. But he is adjusting and we try to get out of the house, that makes it easier on him.

We are looking forward to a fun school year. Good luck guys.
