The first day of school really snuck up on me this year. I think it is because we had such a busy summer that it passed so quickly. I am usually really good at getting school clothes and school supplies purchased well before school starts. This year was a little different because I was out of town and had company in town so much it made it that much more difficult to get things done. After I got home from Utah we made a mad dash around Anchorage to finish school shopping and collecting the supplies that were needed. We did manage to get almost all of the stuff collected the first time we went out.
The first day of school is always a little hectic for me and the kids. Trying to get back into a routine and get used to waking up early is never fun. But it did run smoothly.
Like last year Nate dropped Natalie and Nichole off at the high school on his way into work. I then finished helping Tyler and Ella get ready for school and ran Tyler to his school. Ella and I then came home for about 15 minutes and then went to her school to drop her off. I did get to walk Ella into school and drop her off at her classroom. It is always my favorite tradition of the school year. I didn't get to get any pictures of her at her desk thought. Which is a bummer. And as always she always claims that she doesn't want me to walk her into class but when I do she then doesn't want me to leave.
Between the time I drop Ella off at school and Natalie and Nichole get home from school I try to get the house work done, run errands, or go and visit my friends. It does help the time go by faster.
This is going to be the beginning of a good year I can feel it.
Tyler started the 7th grade this year.
Ella started 4th grade. Her teacher is Mrs. Hargraves.
