Every year, I post a picture of some or all of my kids on the first day of school.
This year will be no different.
L-R: Rachel, age 13 (8th grade), Cody, age 9 (3rd grade), Logan, age 7 (2nd grade) and Andrea, age 13 (8th grade).
The wisps of gray that you see are courtesy of the cloud that had apparently settled over our area, perhaps reflecting the majority’s feeling about school starting once again. The air was practically dripping when we all went outside to take pictures and wait for the bus.
I just compared this picture to last year’s (one reason I like to take these annual pictures), and wow, these kids have grown!
When asked how they liked school, the results were mixed.
“I LOVED it!” exclaimed Logan, who has the wonderfully entertaining and wise Mr. Duncan as a teacher.
Rachel’s response was, “Long. Hot. Homework. Million forms to fill out.”
Andie’s: “Good. Hot.” (The temperature, acting on Murphy’s Law, which states that since it was cool and nice last week, the first day of school should be HOT, was 96 and muggy, and our school has no air conditioning.)
Cody was in agreement with Logan and declared school “good.”
We’ll see what they say in a few more weeks.
Have your kids started school yet? How do they and you feel about it?
