First Day of School reviews

"It was the BEST day ever!!!" Emma yells as she runs out of school. :) "They have chocolate milk for lunch and we had art and they have the cutest baby dolls and...." just one long stream of the greatest hits from the day. It was a rainy first day so Emma will get to play on the playground, for the first time, today.

Zoe met a bunch of friends in the school entry hall before the bell rang and went off with them before I could say goodbye. Fifth grade is the King of the Hill year! Zoe had a good day but came home tired. Several hours of water and sun, from the day before, had her still a bit slow. No homework ,but a bunch of friends in class so Zoe gave the first day an A rating.

Braxton started the day with a morning full of large group ice breaker activities. Just the Freshmen class met to get comfortable with the school before the large group of the rest of the student body converged today. In the afternoon, Braxton had 14 minute period classes to get a quick intro and move on. Braxton said the day was good. he has, at least ,1 person he knows in each class and a lunch period with friends too. He was, also, tired out after school.

Bayley didn't start school til today so she spent the day sleeping and hanging out at home. She went to school at 2 and met Brax to walk him home. She can be nice to him sometimes :).

The evening was full of school talk and gathering more needed school supplies, signing papers, and packing lunches for the next day. All of the kids (and David) went to bed early...I stayed up mentally debriefing the start of another school year.

It is so great to see all of you in your many activities via the internet. I hadn't read the blog for a month so there was lots to catch up on. Sure looks like you all had a memorable summer and are ready for 'back to school' time. It doesn't look like the RNC got in your way either!
