A fun start to the school year

The weather was hot and our books were here so we started school this week.  We started on Monday with a special breakfast.  The kids choose breakfast burritos. 


Please don't break the glass Reuben.


Blueberries!


No special cup for your girlie!


We were all supposed to be working at the table.  It was CHAOS!


Working on his math.


She asked a million questions and loved every minute of it!


Class clown


And now you can see my distraction issue.


She got to pick out her attire for the day. She chose her fancy dress and a braid bun in her hair, like Laura Ingals when she was a teacher not a student.


Watching a science clip together


She is holding Jonah's sign that says "1st day of Second Grade"


Daddy took us out to lunch.


The kids choose McDonald's.



I saved my calories for a much better treat than McDonald's!

A Very Late Posting of 1st Day of Enrichment Class!

 Yep, enrichment classes started over a month ago and I am just now posting the "First Day of Class" photos.  This year we cut back to just one day.  It is lovely.  Jonah and Audrey are both taking art and science.  Jonah is also taking drama.  I am really curious to see how he does with that because he has been really excited about it.  The back packs are completely unnecessary, but a must for the back to class picture!     Getting Ready to head out!   Miss Poser as she gets ready to go inside!    Way too cool for this   Me too Mom!

A little Reuben update

I took Reuben in for his 4 year today.  Last year...36 lbs 36 inches.  This year 39 lbs 39 inches.  73% for weight and 22% for height.    The nurse said "Buddy, you are a square!"  We knew that already. He got referred to an allergy Dr.  On the one hand he is too young to start allergy meds (unless he starts not being able to sleep-then he'd be looking at shots.) but knowing what he is allergic to could help us make better decisions for him (watch pollen counts, tell Jonah there is no dog in his future, etc.)  Looks like it is time to start figuring our how to get him to take apple cider vinegar!  (Sigh...)
