That said, I am thrilled that September is here. I just don't DO well with all that free time! I love the schedules that come with the school year. (I even mopped my floor this week?!) It is definitely feeling like fall outside, too!
Here are my kids in their first-day finery, on Wednesday, September 2. Tristan is in 6th grade, which is middle school! Wow! Three days into school and he's had homework in math, language arts, and social studies. He's already used his flash drive and graph paper! (The school supplies get more expensive as they get older, huh?) Karina is in 3rd grade. In addition to cursive, they learn keyboarding (typing) in 3rd grade. (She already knows how to use PowerPoint better than I do.) And they get to learn about salmon in 3rd grade. Big field trip to the hatchery coming up. :) Washington is so weird and cool at the same time.I will continue to substitute as an instructional assistant this year. I really enjoy working closely with kids who need a little extra help in school. It's also fun to have a job where you get all the same days off as your kids! Next summer, we're planning on fewer ball games and more fun - maybe a camping trip, hopefully a trip to see family, and definitely lots of free time.

I like schedules too!!! It sounds like we got your rain!! It was the coolest summer I have had in a long time! Good luck with all of that homework. I think my kids are going to pass me up very soon.
Fun first day outfits!! i wish my kids learned a lot on the computer! they learn some, but not that much!! I am glad 6th is still elementary here!
Cute first day photos! I know what you mean about neglecting your blog, I do the same thing!
Hey, we all took a break for the summer- but great to see you back! The kids look so cute for their first day back! Are you loving it? Working a lot? Maybe now that school is back in session, we can schedule another get together. Enjoy the rest of your September, have fun at work and hope to see you soon!
