Twas the Night before....

School Starts. The kids are all nestled in their beds except for Kristopher. I think they are ready to go back to school.

It is funny how we always look forward to summer but then everybody is so ready for school to start again.

Zachary will be in 4th grade this year. We met his teacher the other night. He has Mr. Hughes. Yes, I said Mr. This is the first time one of my kids has had a male teacher in elementary. It is his first year teaching so hopefully it will go well. Sometimes new teachers are great. They have new ideas. We aren't expecting Zachary to have any problems, he never does. Zachary is obssessed with school work and getting it done.

Nicholas will be in 7th grade. We didn't really meet his teachers but we saw them and listened to them. His Math teacher is the same as last year. I am sure he will have a great year as long as he keeps himself organized. Nicholas procrastinates, too. He waits until the absolute last minute to do his work.

Since Kristopher is going to be in 11th grade he wasn't the least bit interested in going to his open house. He is on a block schedule so he only has 4 teachers a semester. Three of them he has had in past years. Kristopher does not procrastinat but he has a problem with organization. Marching band will take up a lot of his time this year so he will need to keep on top of all his work.

Julia starts Kindergarten but her first day isn't until Sept. 2. Grace will start going to preschool on Tuesday for 2 days a week. Updates will follow.
