Back to School 2018

It was nice to have a normal back to school night this year. Last year we were rushed because James had to get to a soccer game. The year before that we were in Japan. We loved meeting all the teachers and it helped get the kids excited to get back in school.

We moved to the early track this year which means waking up a lot earlier. Everyone got up great at 6:30 the first few days. Then by Thursday and Friday it got a lot harder. School starts at 8:00 instead of 9:15. They get home at 2:30 instead of 3:45. They love the early schedule when they are done and home for the day.
Kaden started 1st grade and his teacher is Mrs. Hanson.

Lynnlee started 3rd grade and her teacher is Mrs. Terry.

James started 5th grade and his teacher is Mrs. Burton.

Taggart and Sienna started preschool two weeks after at Ms. Penny's preschool.

Now I need to insert a picture of me doing a happy dance. Raising twins has been so hard but I feel like I've hit the pay off. When they aren't at preschool they play well together at home (mostly) and they have a built in buddy. While they are at preschool I can go to the temple-I love Wednesdays, help at the school, and all the other stuff that is easier without kids in tow. It's going to be a great year!

On the first day of school our tradition is to go get ice cream and talk about the day. It's the best way to get the kids talking. They aren't distracted. Their hands are busy and you can actually get a lot more details.
