August as we all know means school starts!
Max and Jesse started the the First Grade
and Damien starts 8th Grade.
I like to make breakfast on the first day instead of the usual cold cereal and milk. This year I did something different and made smiley face pancakes. Well, no one was smiling when I presented my work of art, Max and Jesse pushed their plates away and said, "we like to eat the yummy food at school." Thankfully they ate them when they came home from school later that day. Should have known better. They insist on me taking them to eat breakfast at school. Damien would have appreciated my efforts, since he dislikes school food.
My big first graders!
One of the bonuses of having twins, both start the same grade at the same time! No having to wait a year or so for the other kid to start. Love having all day to get things done by myself, and that includes coupon shopping in PEACE!
Max has been a trooper. No tears. Loves playing on the big playground.
Jesse has had a bit of anxiety starting first grade. His best friend is in Max's class and that has made things hard. He has shed lots of tears. It's hard to drop him off when he is so sad and doesn't want to go.
Both made pledges at school to graduate high school and got a sticker. 2024 seems a long ways away!
As for Damien, he graduates in 2017!
Looking forward to going to Back to School night, meeting their teachers and seeing how much progress these 2 make this year. I've already been to Back to School night for Damien. One of his electives is Engineering and Drafting. In his computer class one of the things he gets to do is design an app. Pretty cool! He is in Algebra 1 and Spanish 2. No football this year. He is holding out for wrestling season. Sure missed sending him off on his first day of 8th grade.
