The last First Day of School

First, Evan had his first day of school last week. Then I had my first day of school on Monday. Now today, Wednesday, we had our last first day of school for the year.

Dean is in 5th grade this year and was assigned to the new teacher's class. He came home with a great first impression of her, so we can breathe easy.
Drew is now in 7th grade. Actually, I get a little sick if I think about it too long. I mean, he was just in kindergarten yesterday...wasn't he?...
And Edie is in 2nd grade. We know from experience she got an excellent teacher. She whispered in my ear as she came out of the classroom today, "It was awesome!"

Back to School? Already??

Summer went by much too fast. I am not ready for the structure of the school year yet, I much prefer the lazy summer days. But this summer wasn't all that lazy. It seems like we were home only long enough to do laundry and pack for the next trip. We went to San Bernardino twice and then there were those trips to Austrailia and Brazil...

But like it or not, school is here. Evan started last Tuesday. He's in a pre-k program in the next school district over, hence the different start date. Pretty cute, no?
He is having a great time there. He already brought home a project for us to try: Monster Toast. He instructed us and they turned out pretty good I think:It's basically painting on slices of bread with colored milk. The colors brighten when you toast it. We had to paint monsters, or face Evan's wrath, but you can do what you want. I won't tell on you.

Everyone else starts school this week. Even me! I'm taking 3 classes this semester at the local JC. Just trying to get some prereqs done to apply to nursing school at some point in the near future. It's amazing all the free time you end up with when the baby's in school!

I hope I remember to come back this week with pictures of Drew's first day of 7th grade (??!!?!?!) Dean's first day of 5th grade and Edie's first day of 2nd grade.
