‘Tis the season for backpacks and routines!
The boys went back to school on Wednesday!
And yes, I can believe it!! 2nd grade and 8th grade. No new schools – just the routines back in order! The 2nd grader was THRILLED to go back. He couldn’t wait! The 8th grader grumbled about how boring it is, and spent a really long time on his “look,” as is typical of this age 🙂 He also declined first day photos, which I respected, but it made me sad!!
Open Houses
We went to back-to-back open houses on Monday to meet the teachers.
Birch loved Mazen’s school’s new library!
And his science teacher’s figurines:
End of Summer Activities
Sprinkles, of course!
A Nature hike
Donkey visits on the neighboring farm
Pirate games!
And of course, haircuts and dentist appointments!
Birch can eat apples again now that he has his front teeth back, and Mazen likely won’t need braces – WAHOO!
