While there are always things we love about school, none of us love trying to get back into the groove after a whole summer away.
Today Makenna informed me that History is her new favorite curriculum. Why? It's one of the few that remained the same from last year. I think it feels like a comfortable, old friend and the rest feel new and scarey.
Fortunately, the solution to the new and scarey is to get going. After a few weeks, we'll be back in the swing of things. Yep, we will. For sure. Mostly sure.
What I am sure of is that my children like making funny face pictures a whole lot more than the smile and try to look good (please) pictures.
Josh started Kindergarten today. My baby. He's also the only one that jumps up and down shouting things like, "Zip-ee-day-dazz!" whenever I mention school.
After expressly telling anyone who would listen that he was NOT looking foward to school, James excitedly told his grandmother that today was AWESOME!
And I just have to say, his funny face picture is a little freaky. It looks like his head is stretching out toward the left. Not normal. I haven't shown him yet, he's going to love it.
Do you think Ben looks a little bit like a little old man in that first picture? Good, I'm glad it's not just me.
Makenna is in 8th grade.
Yes, I know you can read, I've been repeating it to myself at random intervals today and thought I'd share. She's growing up. I know, crazy right?
People can tell you and tell you, but until you actually experience it, I'm pretty sure you can't know what it's like to watch your children grow. It's exhilarating and terrifying at the very same time.
Our first day went pretty good, better than I was expecting. Probably due to my awesome kids.
We have some wrinkles, but I'm sure they'll work their way out as we keep on keepin' on.
Happy first day of school, from our slightly strange and wonderful family to yours!
Leah
