FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL!

Sorry for the yelling but I am the kids are just so excited! First day of school!

Rhys finally gets a male teacher. Yea!

Miss Isabelle is in Quinn's class this year again. This means they have been in class together since they were 4!

We walked home from school together and Rhys and Quinn showed me their "shortcut," which involves cutting through a church's parking lot. The edge of the lot is lined with logs.

The boys invented a game whereby you must walk from one end of the lot to the other on the logs and if you touch ground three times, you're dead. This is trickier than it sounds as one log has rotted away quite a bit and rolls around with the slightest touch.

All in all, the day was a success.

The boys will rest at home tomorrow to make up for all the strenuous exertions of the day. (No, I'm not kidding, they'll be home as it's a staggered start - they go today, the other half goes tomorrow and everyone goes Friday. Oh, and did I mention that today was early release on top of all that?)

But Rhys' homework is complete (practice cursive a's and d's) and his planner (do not lose upon penalty of death) is neatly tucked away in his trapper keeper. Quinn had no homework (the joys of being 7) but did have an extra chore (picking up Carbon's poo). The plan for tomorrow: movies. Their brains were rotting away having to read and do math and all that. Time to really help them stretch by watching all the TV they're going to be missing!
