The first day of school finally (FINALLY!) came. I thought it would never arrive. The bus situation in the morning went relatively smoothly, but, before we headed to the bus, we got the requisite "morning of" pictures. And here they are!

Yawning--did I mention we got up at 5am since the buses
leave at 6:15pm? Yeah, yawns all around! |

| E said "I hate it when you wet my hair and I look 17! |
 |
| Which camera do we look at? |
 |
| They can never keep their hands off each other! |
 |
| J even got to take a picture of Daddy! |
When did my boys get to be so big? Not quite 17, but getting there! I still don't love uniforms, but they certainly do make for sharp photos!
The first day of school turned out to be a mixed bag: E LOVED his day, even though his classroom teacher hasn't gotten her residence permit sorted out so he has been with his teaching assistant and his PE teacher for the time being. J, on the other hand, had a DISASTROUS first day with many, many tears after school and emailing and calling between me and his (new to the school) teacher BUT he did rally and the second day was a smashing success. Whew!
I love uniforms! Wear the same outfit several days in a row and no one the wiser! Spot cleaning often necessary of course. My #2 had a horrible time starting first grade this year. Anxiety for weeks and begging me to homeschooling her. We have WAY too many friends who homeschooling. Darn them!!!
