First Day of School

Doesn't she look so happy for it to be that early in the morning.  They have to get up at 5:30, bus runs about 6:30.  She is ready!  AND....She had a wonderful day!  Not too many familiar faces in her classes, but enough for her to be comfortable.  No hiccups.  No homework.  I need to upload a picture of her in her gym clothes.  We have to buy them from the school.  They are HUGE!!  Shorts go down to her calves, shirt is like a dress.  Very funny when she put them on.  We decided she is going to have to wear spandex shorts underneath, just in case she loses those shorts while exercising.  

Doesn't Ethan look so happy about school starting??  No...no, he doesn't.  He was very tired.  Poor guy!  And he is a little nervous about the schedule...lunch, lockers, etc.  He is new to the Junior High this year.  And he had a football game after school.  Now that was exciting!  It was a scrimmage game.  It rained.  And the ground was already wet.  They were a nasty, muddy mess.  We won!  He had a good day.  Was aggrivated that his english teacher gave him worthless homework.  I, actually, agreed with him on that one.  It was a packet of "back to school" worksheets.....wordfind, crossword puzzle, and word jumble.  Come on...if you're going to give them homework at this age, can it be something relevant please?

John had a great first day of school.  A lot more freedom at the high school.  They have a lot more variety at lunch and can sit anywhere they want.  Likes all of his classes....except writing.  No surprise there.  The golf team has not been practicing since we are getting so much rain.  Hopefully, they will be able to get back to it soon.  John really enjoys it and he's getting better with every practice.
