School is in Session

Well, Judah has settled right into his new classroom and last year as a an elementary student. Commence the weeping and wailing now! How is it possible that he is in 5th grade already? Today was a bit exciting as we are getting copious amounts of rain causing flooding and road closures. He was a bit apprehensive to get on the bus this morning in case he couldn't make it home but didn't want to miss his second day.

Shane is another story altogether. He hasn't been able to get started on any of his work due to a glitch in the system somewhere. His curriculum and supplies somehow did not get ordered until the end of last week so we are quite a bit frustrated at this house. He might be finding himself getting on the bus soon if things don't get ironed out. Either way, tomorrow is his first day going to the elementary school for art! He is cautiously excited!

Tristan loves doing school which I have known for a while now. He will sit for hours and keep plugging away and I have to ask him to take a break.

Here is the alligator he colored. Muli-colored too which was puzzling until he explained that all the red spots are where the alligator had been shot! Someone help me now!

And Eden has decided that cutting with the scissors is her new calling in life. So we have bits of paper floating all around the kitchen. It keeps her occupied and that is reason enough to keep giving her paper for her new found love!

And Heidi just likes to climb on the counters the entire time (feels like the entire time) getting into the cupboards and digging around for everything she is not allowed to have. Again....someone help me now!!

Tomorrow I will tell you about the great flood of 2011 that happened in our yard and made its way into the basement as a most unwelcome guest. Just keep breathing deeply, right?
