First Week Back at School










The first week back to school is done and over with, without any meltdowns (Mom or Kids). All the kids seem to be enjoying their classes!




Aaron is in the 7th grade his 2nd year in middle school he is feeling much braver going into this year since he has the routine down. His only complaint is that school starts at a later time this year and therefore Grandma Marie can't drive him to school and he is destined to ride the DREADED BUS!!! he still manages to talk her into picking him up always reliable waiting with his ice cold coke she insists that she's not spoiling him I beg to differ. Aaron is off to a great start and is trying out for the football team. So far his favorite teacher seems to be Mr. Buckley (social studies) I can see why first off he loves history (just like his father) and during meet the teacher night Mr. Buckley had parents and students alike cracking up he has such amazing love for what he teaches and it shows. Aaron also seems quite excited about Science this year since they get to play in the lab. HEHEHE my little mad scientist!




Ryan has started 5th grade his last year in elementary school His teacher is Mrs. Johnson and I am thrilled with this since she also has a child with some of the same challenges or should I say "QUIRKS" that Ryan has she has him pinned down to a "T" He really likes her and seems to be adjusting well to his new class. Once again Ryan is doing Dodgeball for intramural sports he LOVES it! I love that its his alone no big brother to follow, he always beams when he comes home from games. Ryan is hilarious we were driving in town the other day and Ryan says "Mom if we see a midget will you give him $10 to have him say "You'll never get me lucky charms"" I have never laughed so hard in all my life he even added the Irish accent like the commercial.


Now onto Lindsey! She just started 2nd grade (Wow time sure flies by) She is in Mrs. Murphy's class she is so thrilled to be back in school with all of her friends I know that my daughter is outgoing but she blows me away! As we went to meet the teacher Lindsey knew no strangers every child from 1st grade to 5th grade knew Lindsey and said hi That girl amazes me not a shy bone in her body. Many of her best friends are in her class so this should be an interesting year. Lindsey got an Ipod for her Birthday and I am not sure she realizes how loud she sings or maybe she does and she does it to annoy us all. anyway she has been loving her birthday present.


Now on to me. I was thrilled the morning of August 2nd when I picked up my copy of Breaking Dawn the final book in Stephanie Meyer's "Twilight Series" I finished it in 2 days even though I was working (sleep is so overrated) I will not ruin it because I know so many of my friends are reading it But WOW is all I have to say this book was not a let down at all I am looking forward to all my friends reading it so that I can finally discuss it at work without my life being in danger! Erin I know you tagged me so my response will be coming soon
