First Day of School!

We were up and out of here by 7:10, ready for our first day of school. It's always a little nerve-wrecking, but we did just fine. Brooke started fourth grade. She has a purple room with dolphins painted on the walls. She loves her teacher and the kids in her classroom. Her favorite part of the day was the 'express yourself' game.

Cammie started sixth grade in Middle School. That is a major adjustment, but she hung right in there. It is alot to get used to. Her favorite things about school are organizing her locker and Mr. Cioffi's class.



Aren't they sweet?!

And, then there's me. I decided to teach for somebody on maternity leave through November. It happens to be 8th grade Social Studies, which I love. I have great kids in four classes - a few whiny boys (the girls beat them in a game) and a lot of brains!! These thirteen year olds have alot going on. They're smart, they're athletic, and they are respectful. See, there are some of those left!!


Looking mangled after a full day's work. (Ya'll know what my hair does in drippy weather)! I don't know how those full timers do it. Hats off to ya! I'm off to a good, sweaty workout!

Don't you just hate when you have to say good-bye to summertime days!! I can't believe how big the girls are getting - or should I say "mature." They are NOT big by any means...so beautiful!! Just like their Momma (OK and their daddy too! HAHA)xo Jules
