School 2011

Hallie started school first this year.

In our district, the school starts just the 7th graders

 a day earlier than the 8th and 9th graders.

That way, they are all lost together and they don't have to worry about the older kids.

(Well, for one day at least!)

Hallie had a great first day! 

We didn't think we were going to take her the first day, but it turned out we did. 

She started school on Friday, August 19th. 

So, on Monday, August 22nd the rest of our crew started school.

The boys are in a class together.....

Love it....

For once, I encourage tattling!  

Alex said he was fine with Carter being in his class as long as Carter doesn't embarrass him.

I'm sure that won't take long.

We just finished our  first week of school and all the kids are loving it!

Carter and Hallie have both transitioned nicely to their new schools and

we are all just working our way back into a schedule.

Our mornings start earlier around here since Hallie has to leave at 7:15 to catch the bus.

We've offered her a ride, but she prefers the bus.

A true sign that she is entering the teenage stage.

She doesn't want her parents dropping her off at school.

How uncool would that be?
