First Day Of School - 2014

Way back in August the kids started school! Happy, happy, joy, joy. We love summer but we were all ready to get back into the school routine.

 

This year they started at a brand new school. Still Somerset but a new campus super close to our house. And one that includes a high school, so once again all 3 of the kids are at the same school.

 

9th grade for Megan!

 

 

It was really difficult for Megan to decide where to go to high school, but so far she enjoys Losee (except for the uniforms). She has lots of friends there, early morning seminary doesn't start until 6:30 a.m., and she has already learned so much (I'm quite sure she didn't learn one single new thing last year, except for in math).

 

Jackson started 5th grade!

 

 

Doesn't it look like he is saying, "Hey, what's up?"

 

 

Last year Jackson was very fortunate to have so many of his best friends in his class, but this year not so much. Not many kids he knew transferred to the new school, and he ended up in a class without any friends. They also rotate classes (like in middle school) and he initially wasn't a big fan of it. But with time he has adjusted, made friends, and is happily enjoying 5th grade.

 

Sade started 1st grade!

 

 

She loves it. Just like her sister she adjusts to new situations/teachers very well. She has made lots of friends, loves specials (especially music) and pretty much enjoys everything about school.

 

The cuteness overwhelms me:

 

 

All ready to walk in on the first day:

 

 

Sadie about died of embarrassment when Eric and I insisted on walking her to class. She truly just wanted us to leave:

 

 

Although the picture doesn't show it, before leaving Eric and I checked on Jackson in his class and he turned around, smiled and waved to us. No embarrassment from him:

 

 

The Losee Lion was on hand to greet the kids on the first day. My kids refused to take a picture with him, but not me!

 

 

Having all 3 kids gone at school all day has brought mixed emotions for me. Mostly it is FABULOUS (my house is clean, I hang out with friends, go to the gym, run errands, read, watch T.V.), but I do feel a little bit of confliction with regards to going back to work. We will see.
