Yesterday, was their first day back to school. I told them I might cry after they leave. I didn't ... but it sure was a quiet morning with the two oldest back to school.
Hadassah is starting middle school and she is a bit anxious about the whole idea. It's now switching classrooms, being warned by blue slips if you forget something needed for class or don't get homework completed, no snack time, etc.. She's growing up and now seems to have more responsibilities. I know she will do just fine! It will take just a few days till she's used to the new way of school. She said that the classroom was quiet yesterday. Everyone seemed a bit nervous. I think a full day of school today will have them all fussing and bubbling over like their normal, usual selves!
Matthew is starting third grade and he says that he doesn't "love school" but I can tell he enjoys it very much too! :) Boys! He woke up yesterday morning fast. He ate his French toast fast and was dressed in a flash. It only took him about 20 minutes. He thought it was ridiculous that Hadassah took so long to get ready. :) Girls! When the bus finally pulled up to the driveway, he was stoked! He enjoyed his first day and after returning home after lunch, he seemed a tad bored already. School is so good for him. It stretches his mind and gets him into books. Something he does not like to do naturally! Outdoor play is still his main interest!
The fog was heavy in the morning. The bus pulled up and the kids were off ...
Ashlyn was still sleeping when they left for school and so when she woke up, she of course asked for Matthew. Then Hadassah. It was quiet and she enjoyed some play time with just her and I. It will take some adjustments again to the school schedule and when the chilly air comes to stay, I will be ready for the early to bed and early to rise life style. I said good bye to my sleeping in mornings and hello to a better bed time schedule!!!
We are so blessed to have such a great Christian school nearby that teaches about God and Christian values! We are looking forwards to another wonderful year of schooling and learning!
