First week of school.

We have survived our first week of school! It was only a three day week and one of the days was early release but we survived. Everyone had packed lunches and everyone was at school on time every day. This is a win to me! I was so lucky that the first week fell on my three day stretch off of work, I did not have to return to work until tonight (Friday).

Ronnie is going to all day pre-k this year and is doing wonderfully, even taking naps! I’m very happy with both of the teachers in this class. The two Para educators and even Ms. Jones have all came by to see how he is doing and help out in the class. I love the attention that they are able to give him. I am hoping that this all day pre-k will help prepare him for all day kindergarten next year.

Miss Evee has been a champ in 1^st grade. She loves her teacher and going to school. A friend of ours has a son who is in her class this year as well. They have been hanging out in the mornings before school on the playground. There are also a handful of students from her class last year back this year.

Ron was pretty sad about being in San Diego for their first days but I sent him a ton of pictures and made him feel like he was here. The Seahawks also played the first game of the season this week so Evee rocked her huge Seahawks bow in spite of the uniform policy. We love dressing up for game day. Since we don’t have cable to watch the game we headed out to Applebee’s to have some half price appetizers and watch as much of the game as they would let me. We made it 10 minutes into the second quarter. I call that a success, we listened to the rest of the game on the radio in my car as I worked on the chicken coup.

It’s been a fun week. I feel like I am ready to take on the school year! Drop offs, pick ups, and packed lunches and all!
