First Day of School!!!

The first day of school was a great day! All three boys had a hard time sleeping the night before. Griff was awake at 5 am and did his best to go back to sleep. I heard him in the shower at 6:30 am for 20 minutes. Later - he ironed his shirt! Ahhh middle school!

Both the older boys were pleased with their Nike backpacks. I stitched "Holt" onto their packs in matching colors. Very cool! Noah chose a super hero backpack. What a shocker! He he!

We were out the door on time and off to take Noah and Isaac to school first.. Both boys ran to see their friends! Isaac was nervous to be in his new class. He was unsure about his teacher too - didn't get the teacher that he wanted. By the end of the day - she had won him over! I'm sure the "no homework" policy in her class helped a ton.

Noah had a great time just seeing his classmates. He was excited to see that his teacher had purchased a pencil box for him, found his own cubby, his own desk. I purchased a small book to help Noah's classmates understand epilepsy. His teacher read it to the class today and they came up with a "Noah Emergency Plan!"

Once both boys were in school, we headed off to Stanley Middle to drop off Griff. He only knew that his first class was Math with Mr. Raddo. Once there, Mr. Raddo gave them their remaining schedules for the day. He had a great time and loves Jr. High.

It's amazing how different the 6th graders are compared to the 8th graders. It was a crazy morning. I swear middle school girls don't go through that "awkward" phase that we went through in middle school. Let's just say - Griff noticed them and so did Bryan and I.

At the end of the day, the boys were full of great stories. They loved their classes and teachers. All three are excited to go back tomorrow!

And me..... I will enjoy the time in my home and yard with my music cranked up, getting my "jobs" done, running and working out for my full hour every day, working on the house, getting my emails answered, etc.

Looking forward to a great year!
