First Day of School

I am so sad that summer is over.  I remember being ready for it to be over last year, but I'm not this year.  I think it has helped that the kids are older and that I can leave them home when I go grocery shopping.  I also think we have had just the right amount of fun activities, trips and relaxation this summer.  We have had so much fun together and I'm not ready for it to end.  I'm also going to miss sleeping in.  I don't sleep well at night.  Most nights I am up during the night, but come 7:00 AM I can sleep so soundly.  Jonah would always get up and get Hallee and Wyatt breakfast and I would keep sleeping a lot of days.  It was so nice. 

Caitlyn is so excited for school.  She hasn't been nervous at all.  She is so excited that she is in the same class as Katelyn Serr.  They are in the 4th grade/5th grade split class.  I think it will be really good for her to get back into the split class.  Last year she wasn't in it and it was a rough year.  I requested it for her this year.  I thought after a rough year, she needed a good year.  All of the nice girls seem to be in the split class every year, so I think this year will be great.

Jonah has not been excited for school.  He came up crying last night saying he didn't want summer to end and that he was going to miss me.  I'm not going to lie, it was fun to hear that.  We talked about all of the fun he was going to have this year and I got him calmed down pretty quick and got him back to bed.  This morning he was excited and ready to go.

5th grade and 3rd grade!

Jonah has almost all of his friends in his class this year.  He is in the morning French class/ afternoon English.  I absolutely love the group of boys in his grade.  There are so many good boys.  Jonah switches around and plays with all of them. 

Caitlyn's teacher is new to the school this year.  She seemed really nice. 

Jonah's French teacher is also new to the school.  It took me a minute to find her in the class.  She is really short and looks so young.  I bet Jonah will love her!

Both kids came home from school and said they loved their teachers and they had a good day.  I think this is going to be a good year!
