Summer has slipped away and school has begun. I never really understood some of my friends who would say, "Oh I can't wait for summer, just to have the kids home" until this summer. I can honestly say that for most of the summer it was great having the girls home. It was so much less running around, lunches to make, homework to fit it and I didn't have to be as organized. Now with that being said, I was ready for them to go back to school, especially these past few weeks when every day I heard, "I'm bored". So they went back to Beck Elementary this past Tuesday to new teachers and a new principle.
Rachel had to be in on the action, but she doesn't actually start More for Fours until next Monday.
All three girls got to go, with Grandma and Papa K., school shopping. They had a great time. This year the girls are starting to pick out "big girl" styles. Stay tunned for more of THOSE pictures.
This is the first school year for Morgan and glasses. She has done so well. I don't have to remind her and I think she is wearing them all day in school. I know she must see so much better and this motivates her.
The backpack shopping was a little painful this year. It took much longer than it should have to pick "just the right one" out. I can see where my shopping life is heading-and where Mike may not want be a part of this for much longer!
Nicole's teacher is Mrs. Domke. I got to meet her last night and really like her style and philosophy of teaching. Nicole gets to have her long time buddies Ian and Kamyrn in her class this year-20 boys and 10 girls!
Mike was able to come for the first day of school drop off. Our elementary parking is a mad house and this morning it was especially crazy. We were glad to have dad with us.
Morgan's second grade teacher is Mrs. VanDewinkle. Morgan was happy to get her. She was a first grade teacher last year that Morgan liked. She seems like a very passionate, caring teacher.
I think this is going to be a great year. I will post Rachel's first day soon.
Have a great 2009-2010 school year!
