2013 First Day

What an odd start for school.  My kids waited for the bus in hoodies, because the temperature only rose to around 70.  Not the usual sweaty start.  Ike and Ava are loving 4th grade, and I am loving their teachers.  Fourth grade starts the subject tracting, so they move around for science, math, and reading.  Surprise, surprise -- Ike and Ava have all three of these together.  I have warned the teachers not to set them by one another.  It's like a match and gas -- it's not if, but when will they burst. 

School this year is so different from last.  Fourth grade and seventh grade must be a rest year.  Everyone is loving school.  I am poised waiting for the other shoe to drop, but so far, so good.
