First Day Of School









The kids started school last Wednesday! We were all happy to start back! Damon is in 1st grade and was really excited! He has a few friends from his Kindergarten class in his class again this year! His teacher is from France and has a strong accent so he has had a little trouble understanding her. I think with a little bit of time he will be fine! He loves riding the bus with his friends! He also thinks he is pretty cool now that he doesn't have Jaymz on the bus with him!

Jaymz started 6th grade which is MIDDLE SCHOOL!! He was a little anxious about the first few days but they turned out just fine! He did have a little trouble getting his locker open the first day, and a parent that was supposed to be there "helping" yelled at him and told him to get the locker open! Another parent helper saw what was going on and went over and told her to leave and she would help him! On the 2nd day he came home VERY excited that he got his locker open everytime on his own!! Ü

Aubrey- well she is the cool 8th grader- (middle school only goes to 8th grade) She knew where everything was and basically knew everyone in her classes so it was great for her! She is excited that she has some really nice teachers! She took Choir this year- she debated back and forth between Art and Choir and decided to do Choir because most of her friends were in it. Well after 3 days she is trying to switch over to Art! She decided it wasn't exactly what she wanted and after she heard what they had to wear for concerts (tuxedos bow ties and cumberbun) she was OUT!!! haha Her Choir teacher said she had to try it for at least 4 weeks but she is going to go talk to the office- hopefully they will switch her so she isn't behind in Art!

I started a little Job teaching computer classes to Preschools around town. I work about 3 mornings a week and am done by noon. I think it will be nice to have something to do and get me out of the house!! It is pretty easy and working with kids is always fun! So, we'll see how it goes!

Cute pics. Is Damon understanding his teacher yet? I hope so, that would be sad. They really need to stop growing-up without me around, I don't like this :) :(
