Back to School





Well, it is that time of year again. School has started and as always that brings lots of fun activities. As usual, I made the kids pose for a Back to school picture the first morning, before they got on the bus. Ashleigh thought it was great. Garrett did not. He is at the age where it is not so cool to have back to school pictures taken I guess.

Garrett is loving being an 8th grader. He says his favorite clas is either T.A. for Miss Stevens or Weights. Hmmmm.......mom is not sure those really count as classes. He thinks they are though, and is doing well in all of his other classes, so I guess that is alright. He starts lacrosse this week and is very excited about that.

Ash loves 5th grade, I think her favorite part so far is her teacher. She always tells me how "nice" Mrs Crockett is. She had a biographical timeline due last we and we had a lot of fun looking through all of her old pictures to decide which major events to use in her presentation. She tried out for dance team in the spring and moved up a class. She was excited about that and is thrilled to be starting classes again.

Mom is back to school as well. I'm not happy to be going back to work, but glad to be able to get back into a routine again. It is also nice to see all the people I work with and to see most of the kids.

Jason has been working on a big project at work. Hopefully after he is finished InfoTrax will be "PCI Compliant." I'm not really sure what that means but he has been working a lot so it must be important. It will be nice for him when he his finished....he has been a little stressed lately.
