First day of SCHOOL

The first day of school was tuesday the 26th...it's been a very crazy busy last few days.Monday night before school, we had our Back to School family home evening...this is where we have our first "school" lunch for the year. I got these trays like they have at school and we eat a traditional school meal. This time is was turkey gravy with mashed potatoes, green beans, fruit cocktail, fruit pie and juice. The boys love this annual event. For the lesson, we talk about rules of school and why it's important to keep learning. Then we have the EXTRA special event to finish off the night :)

Aaron started high school and rode his bike to school. He enjoyed his first day of high school...this is what he said about Ag science "It's yummy" I guess they did a bubble gum experiment on which gum gives you bigger bubbles... I'll let you know what they decide so you can get the biggest best bubble for your buck :D

Brandon started seventh grade and has decided to play the trombone for band... too bad we're not closer to Ferrara's so he can get some pointers from Bro. Ferrara :( He needs them, so if you want to send any our way, that would be much appreciated :D

Josh had his grid kid football sign ups on tuesday and the draft tonight. It was so funny to watch him get his gear for football...there's no way he could have played last year, even if he wanted to :) He's super tiny. xs for everything, even the helmet which is too big by the way :) He's really excited about playing "tackle football" I got the paper about grid kids and he said he wasn't playing football ever again, then I told him it was tackle. He then quickly changed his mind :D He LOVES tackle. There are a lot of boys Josh's age playing, whom he knows, so it will be good whatever team he's on :)

Dallin started 2nd grade and loves it. He had to miss his second day of school to go to the dentist in Tri-cities. He was sad, but excited that we could go shopping after wards :D At the dentist, they had game systems everywhere in the waiting room so the little boys could play while they were waiting for Dallin to be done :D It was so nice to not have to worry about josh and Kyler getting bored while they were waiting.

Kyler started kindergarten and was SO excited. He woke up bright and early and had a great attitude. He got his clothes and got dressed before I could even get downstairs :) socks shoes and his backpack :)

I took Dallin and Kyler to school and walked them to their classrooms. Once the door was open for Kyler's class, he was gone...no hug :( but I did get a HUGE hug when he got out of school. Today, he didn't even want to hold my hand, but he did give me a good bye hug :)

Today was Josh's first day of classes and things were so crazy. I'm glad that he only had 4 classes to do today. He's learning about Oregon history this year and has new curriculum with ORCA so it's a new learning process for a while.

We'll get the hang of these new schedules one of these days :)
