Kindergarten

Marianne gets to go to school now too! She is very excited and didn't sleep well the night before her first day. She loves her pink backpack and telling me how she wants her hair fixed each morning. She gets to walk with Janae and Nathan but still likes coming home for lunch with Julene. Julene was a little lonely just having me around. She kept asking where everyone was (Jared was having a nap), but she found ways to be helpful.

Back to School

We started back to school this week. Janae is in 5th. Nathan is in 2nd. Marianne startes Kindergarten on Monday. The kindergartners start a week later. Julene starts our co-op neighborhood preschool Sep 1st. Jared and I get to stay home and catch up before everyone comes home. Janae, Marianne and Julene couldn't wait and have been counting down for weeks. Nathan isn't as excited. I asked him what he did the first day, and he said "nothing". That's probably true. The next day was better, but he can't wait until they really start doing things and all this preliminary talking is done. He has been enjoying cub scouts and wants to pass everything off. I have also enjoyed both of them having that structure at school, and I am getting a little more done at home.
