Start of School

So this is it, Sydney is now in Kindergarten.  As much as I enjoyed last year with her home, I know she is ready for kindergarten and is going to do great things!  Austin was excited to be in first grade.  He has a great class with lots of his friends.

On the first day they were so excited.  The school had a blessing and clap in the first day of school.  Sydney got to release a balloon since she was new to the school.  We dropped Austin off at his class first.  We got a quick hug and off he went.  It's amazing how much things change in a year.  There was no hesitation.   For Sydney we went into the room with her.  Brian got a few pictures.  Sydney was sad when it was time for us to go.  Brian stayed a bit longer and then we left.  I don't think she actually cried but was sad.  However her first day was great!

 Austin also had a great first day.  He was very talkative after school.  His class does uses money as a reward system.  He can collect money and then decide on how he wants to use it.  One option is to read to kindergartners.  That has his attention right now.

I hope this is a great school year.  It's off to a good start.  Austin is in soccer and flag football.  He loves flag football!  Sydney is also in soccer and starts dance soon.  She can't wait for dance to start!

Our house is still a mess.  They have been working on installation and drywall.  This project has been a very long one.  Brian has ran a lot of low voltage wires so he's been busy with that.  Plus he put in installation between bedrooms.  Austin and Sydney enjoyed helping him with the installation.  The drywall progress is driving me crazy and it's not even sanding time yet.  We want bedroom back so bad.  Hopefully just a few more weeks.  I can't wait for our house to be done.  We have a lot of work still to do.  All and all the kids are handling it well.  But I know it's hard for them.  It's fun and exciting but exhausting.  And all of us, will be very happy to have our normal house back.
