Start of the New School Year

Trevor started sixth grade this year. Yikes!! I do not feel old enough to have a kid in middle school. I have to say that I was really nervous for my little boy to be going there but he absolutely loves it! I definitely don't love how early he has to wake up and be out of the house...but I guess I had better get use to it because it is going to be like this for a really long time now. A new thing...Trevor also got glasses this summer. The other day we were in the car driving home from scouts and Trevor told me that he can fit into his locker at school. ??? So I of course in shock, asked him how he knows that, and he tells me that after school one day he wanted to see if he could fit. So low and behold he finds out that yes in fact he can fit into his locker. Still to this day I can't figure out why this is so cool to him???

Jenessa started fourth grade this year and at a different elementary school. She had been struggling with some mean girls and bullying at the traditional school where she had been going and so this pushed me over my year round school avoidance. Jenessa is now going to a year round school close to our house and is loving every minute of it. She is in class with one of her best friends and loves walking to and from school with her friends. She chooses to walk even though we are in the bus zone and can take the bus. I am so glad that she is enjoying school this year.

Alyse started kindergarten this year and loves going to school. She walks to school every morning with Jenessa and then rides the bus home at lunchtime. It is so strange for me to have three kids in school now. It was a little bit of an adjustment to try to figure out a schedule...it is hard having three kids coming home from school at three different times. Lexi enjoys being home alone and being able to do things without older siblings bossing her around or taking over. It has been a lot of fun for her and I to have some time together just the two of us. It is kind of weird...it is not very often that I get one on one time like that.

Your kids are getting so big! That is so funny that Trevor wanted to see if he can fit in his locker. I thought you were going to say that someone put him in there!

LOL about Trevor in the locker! At least it wasn't someone else that put him in there. :) He looks handsome and so grown up with his glasses.

Cute kids. Seems like I was just taking YOUR picture as you were headed off to Lowell Scott Middle School.
