First Day of School 2011

Update from this morning.  Girls all had a great day!  Jack's at least got better than it started.  Brianna made friends and loves her science teacher.  She and Hadley talked non stop after pickup.  Lucy fell dead asleep at cheer practice.  We just got back from cross country where Brianna ran 4 miles.  Whew!  We will need dynamite in the morning but at least they seem excited for day 2!


Rough start.  Juice was spilled, tempers flared, hormones raged.  3 people cried. (I was one of them) Lunch and one backpack forgotten.  As we walked the whole distance of the building to Jack and Lucy’s classes, Jack lamented that he wanted to “go to the same school as last year”  And who can blame him.  The idea to fruit basket toss up the entire building guaranteeing no one knows any one was a terrible plan.  So much for strong and stable. It has to get better right???  So begins the 2011- 2012 year. Two kindergartners, 5th grader and 7th grader.  Cross country and cheer tonight.  Really hoping this is not a statement on the overall year.
