It really happened!

Chad and his friend, Daelin, were the only ones waiting for the middle school bus - at 7:21am!
Look at all the kids on the elementary school bus! Crazy!!! They get picked up at 8:24. Who makes up these times, anyways?

School started! I know that some of you already started - Burbank, last week, and Provo, the week before - but for us "Northwesterners?" (Washington and Oregon) it started yesterday. Now, just trying to get back into the school rhythm.

For our kids, yesterday brought another new school. When we moved up here last summer, we were living in the boundaries of one school, but when we moved into our house, we moved into the boundaries of another school (same school district - just a block out of the boundary line for the first school), so school yesterday was new to all the kids. Macy and Luke were ok with it - they tend to go with the flow so well (and they each had kids in their classes that they knew from church). But Chad on the other hand, tried to talk us out of going back to school. Not only did he start a new school, but it was middle school, and all of his friends' from his class last year went to the other middle school, so this was completely new to him. He survived though! One of his friends' from down the street (who is also from church and scouts) got on the bus with him and introduced him to his friends, so all was well. Just the fact that Daelin was there to get on the bus with him really helped!

So, day #2. I plan to do nothing! Just kidding. My friend is actually dropping off two of her kids, ages 2 and 4 (handfuls!), for a couple of hours so that she can go check out the classrooms of her older kids. Gotta work on the invites for Macy's big giant sleepover birthday next weekend.
