Summers always go quickly with a month of it spent at the ballfields, a trip or two, some time at the lake and a few lazy days of just hanging with friends and being kids. Sadly our children return to school in early August! This year is our first year having each of our children at different schools. I was a little nervous how it would all work out.
Thankfully, it has gone quite well! Bennett absolutely loves middle school. She has three primary teachers, and she rotates between them, in addition to PE and Band. She has joined the Trendsetters which is a group of kids that do service work in the community. It could be sorting donated items, cheering on special needs kids while they play sports, or anything in between. Though she is still partial to some of her elementary school friends, she has made several new friends and feels very comfortable at her new school Barring no extreme weather, she walks down to our church parking lot after school each day, and she likes to arrive early enough to go to her locker before homeroom.

Excited for her 1st day!

Preston on the other hand, likes to get to school just in time for the bell. Since I drop him off at the Piggly Wiggly, and pick him up there after school, we don't have the long carpool lines to deal with this year. Therefore, I can take Bennett to school, then Preston, before coming home for an hour to get Walker ready. Preston has a newer, young teacher, Miss Lyon who seems to be unique and innovative with her teaching style.
Fingers crossed for great school years for these two big kids!
Meanwhile, Walker got an extra week of summer before starting his final year of preschool. When his first day came though, he was thrilled! He was ready to have a routine like his siblings, instead of running errands with me every day. Walker has two seasoned teachers, Paula and Michelle, who have taught together for years. Their room is called "yellow door," and Walker had several of his buddies in his class, so he was excited.
