Exhausted... And Gearing up for Back to School

Savannah had Red Letter Days yesterday.  That is the fun where you get to go to the school and stand in line to prove your residency for that school.  Then go to the cafeteria and go to the seven stations to turn in the handful of forms I had to fill out prior to registration and pick up her schedule.  After all of that fun, we get the locker line.  This particular feature was made extra fun because the school is over crowded and there are not enough lockers.  The freshmen get to pick lockers the last day and there is a possibility there will be no locker for your child.  I'll just leave it at this... the my kid is not carrying 40lbs. of books all day, all school year, momma in me was out and in force with the kids who didn't want to notice the mile long line waiting for lockers. It was fun!  Savannah got a locker in the hall where she has two classes.  Success!  We got her books.  One which looked horrible and I will be taking a picture of it and sending that to the book people for documentation so that I am not paying for a beat up book at the end of the year.  We picked up her RHS hoodie order form ( gotta get that Raptor wear!) and out we went.


We got home and had dinner and then it was time for a Young Women sleepover at our house.  Thank you Kyle, Zachary, and Hannah for being good sports.  I know you are sleep deprived because of all of the laughing, screaming, running, etc.  Sorry. :) It has been a long day and it is only 1:00pm.  I am ready for bed already!  The young women were great though and we had a lot of fun. Just tired after 4 hours of sleep.

School Days

Savannah and Zachary survived their first two days of school. Zachary really likes his teacher. :)
She reads to the class. Does it get better than that? He likes his class. He is making new friends, and he has a late lunch, so his teacher lets the class bring a healthy snack.

Savannah has some HILARIOUS teachers! She talked for hours about how much fun they were. She is also taking honors Spanish and honors Algebra for high school credit. She is nervous about that, but I am sure she will be fine. Of course my social Savannah has her two best friends in several classes as well as many other friends. I don't think that girl knows a stranger.

I am glad my prayers were answered and these two had such a good start to their school year. Let's hope it continues... with maybe a few less "mom projects" than the previous years?!
