O.k. so I have been such a blog slacker. I have so much to catch up on, but we will start with the first day of school. All my kids are excited to be back in school, all except Sadie. We are at a new school this year, so we won't have to change schools when we move. Kamryn has lots of friends and a great teacher, so he thinks his new school is pretty great. Derek's best friend Nikolas is at his school (not in his class, but at recess), so he likes that. He likes his teacher, and he loves eating lunch at school. Usually when I ask him about school he will tell me what he ate for lunch. Brynli is glad to be in Kindergarten. She has an excellent teacher. She loves that she knows her teacher. Mrs. Pierce is our next door neighbor. Brynli was also excited to meet a new friend on the first day of school. She is so funny. When I asked her how her first day of school was she said, "It was fun, I met a friend named Ashley, but I didn't learn to read yet." I guess she expects immediate results from school. Sadie doesn't love all the kids going to school. She likes her one-on-one time with Brynli in the morning, but she misses the kids when they are all at school. When we dropped Brynli off the first day, Sadie cried the whole way home. Then she kept saying it was time to pick Brynli up. I'm grateful for the routine again. The quiet house is nice and it stays much cleaner. I don't love going to the school 3 times a day for drop-off or pick-up of kids, but they'll be able to ride a bus when we move, so that will be nice. I can't believe how big all my kids are getting. it seems like I really notice how much they've grown in a year when I take school pictures.
