Shaylee said today was boring--she had to go to all 8 of her classes and hear all the rules and conduct several fire drills. Woo hoo! Her favorite class was Seminary, which her dad and I are very pleased about. She'll survive Algebra and French, and we're hoping for some tasty treats from her Foods class.
Devin was really nervous about his new teacher, Miss Albaugh, because he heard she was strict. He and I discussed this all weekend--me trying to convince him that strict wasn't such a bad thing. He came home from school today absolutely loving her. She really is a great teacher and we're excited about this year.
Aspen got to go to an open house at her preschool and meet her new teacher, Mrs. Petersen. As you will notice from the photo below, her teacher is quite pregnant (due in 3 weeks). The sub will come to class from the beginning so the kids will know her, then Mrs. Petersen will take off 6 weeks and be back just after UEA. Whoa! Aspen just loves her and the puzzles she had out. She's especially excited to go back Wednesday to play with the toys. I was just lucky to get her there this morning. She had a meltdown getting in the car and then out of the car. She wanted to wear her new tennis shoes, but then they itched and she was absolutely beside herself. It didn't help that we all caught colds this weekend (I know it's still warm, but we all caught colds). Aspen has been running a fever, had a stuffy nose, and itchy eyes. We gave her allergy medicine and that seemed to help.
Check out these cute kids on their way to school (it's nice that the junior high now starts 30 min. later than it did last year--Shaylee and Devin leave at the same time now):
I dropped Devin off for his first day, but he had to walk home because he gets out right during nap time:

No sweat!
Connor got to come to the open house as well:

Wonderful pictures and it's fun to hear the news of the day, week, month and year. You're all a bunch of perfect picture models. Shay looks waaaaaay too grown up and beautiful, dev is handsome as can be and cute too and of course what's cuter than Aspen at school(soon to be the teacher of her class when her teacher has her baby, and Connor well, he's also perfect. I'm jealous that you're so organized. Blogs are fun to look at. Sorry I don't have one to share. I guarantee it would not be nearly as adventurous however. My day to day is just that. Highlight is getting out of the house and going to work.
Hugs, Sue
