Kelly is off to college and is doing her best to negotiate public transportation from our house to classes and back each day. I think the classes are easier than the bus schedule.
Two are off to public school, one for the last year and one for the very first time. Kindergarten is adorable, comple
te with a Polly Pocket book bag/Dora the Explora lunch box and a little name tag with a picture of a racoon or something and her teacher's name. David is a senior and that's wonderful too although his book bag is much less pink and he isn't required to nap but just nods off in his after lunch classes.There are four kids homeschooling this year and our first two days have been just about perfect.
Grace has also drifted off to sleep a few times during the day but she swears it's the Tylenol 3 for pain relief from the surgery and "but it's not because your'e a boring teacher or what your teaching is boring, Mom, really".
James has kept our two year old amused while we school and has apparently been giving him piano lessons as well. The little guy also read a few magaz
ines to keep busy while we did math. It looks messy but I think he was just tearing out a few recipes from Martha Stewart Living that he thought the family might enjoy.
Does this mean summer is over?

I guess this post answers the questions I just emailed you!
My favorite picture is the one of Gabi - yeah she is cute and smart and a perfect little kindergartener, but actually it is the bus driver who is very patiently doing his thing while you snap pictures that caught my attention.
Yeah, I guess it means summer is officially over. Unofficially though, it's still summer. School has changed so much - when I was a kid, we didnt start until after Labor Day, so Labor Day was kind of the 'end-of-summer' mark. Nowadays, who knows - just whenever we decide it's over or the temperatures drop.
Frost, pumpkins, mums and candied apples are other good signs...lol
I take it that Gracie's surgery was successful and they were able to get the catheter back in place? She's been through so much. Hope it's smooth sailing from here on in.
you are welcome.
see...!
Looks like martha had lots of recipes this month!
