Slowly Trickling Out

Today is the day. The first day of school - except for Julia and Kendall.

Jenna had a full day of fun planned for her at the HS. Only freshmen and new students are there today. They are doing team building activities and lots of getting to know you games, etc. No backpacks. No lunches. Only cash for the lunchroom. Oh ... and of course, she wouldn't forget her phone ;o). She was gone by 7:20.

Kerst was next. He told me when he woke up that he was going to fall asleep in school. Kendall and I walked Kerst and his walking buddy, J. Cl., to school. Kendall was NOT happy when we turned away from the school and left Kerst behind.

Jaley was next. She had a half day in the afternoon. It is nice that they have the younger students in the middle school and high school have rule of the school for a day before the "bigger kids" arrive. We didn't have that in IL. Jaley is a "bigger kid" this year! 7th grade. I can't believe it. Kendall was not happy AGAIN when Jaley left; at least he was still sleeping when Jenna left. Being disappointed three times in one day with being left behind is not good on a toddler ;o)

Julia had to go in sometime today to get her school picture taken for her id. Kendall and I went and hung out with her. Kendall felt like he fit right in ... he was back in his old romping ground when I would go in to take photos during the musicals. I don't think he realizes that there are at least 12 years difference between him and the students there.

And Kendall. He has his "meet your teacher" tomorrow at noon. He starts preschool on Thursday! I can't believe it!

Early Morning Seminary starts next week - 6:30 a.m. We will have 12 years straight of Seminary. 1 year off and then 4 more years with Kendall.

A new routine is starting. I'm going to miss the summer, but will enjoy a new routine.
