First Day of School

Today was our first day of school and to be honest with you, it came out of no where. I could have sworn I had another week to get things ready. I did however pull it all together finished the school room, got all the books organized, luckily I had finished the lesson plans last week or we may have not been able to have our First Day of school today.

The kids woke up, who am I kidding I woke the kids up bright and early, made them pancakes that spelled out school and they had kool aid to wash it down with. They got on their Brand new first day of school outfits and then we headed outside to take first day of school pics and to shoot their sillies out. The kids got to pic out two cans of silly string to shoot all of their sillies out so they could focus and be ready for their first day. It's a lot of fun for them and it actually does help them to get all those sillies out. If the dang spray wasn't so expensive I would have them do it on a daily basis.

Getting their sillies out

School started and to be honest it's going to take a little while to get use to the schedule. I have it so when Libby is doing her Journal I am doing something with Teyla and Landon, and then I have it where the two little ones are doing something that they don't need help with I'm working on subjects with Libby. It's a vice versa kinda deal, and it seemed to work out today, but I need to put up the schedule in the room. I have it in the grade book but I have to flip back and forth, quite frankly it's a pain, but I figure if I can get it up on the wall in here it will be a lot easier to do.

Today we mostly just looked through our books, but there were a couple of subjects we did some work on just so I could see if my plans would work out. It works out great as long as I know what I am doing.

Tonight happen to be Family Night at the Museum of World Treasure so before our trip there we made a trip over to see the kid's new baby cousin baby Johnnie, and then made a bee line to go and see their Grandpa in the hospital. Baby Johnnie was adorable and very sweet. Grandpa was his old story telling self so I knew he was feeling pretty good, after we made out little side trips we were off to the Museum of World treasure. It is a pretty neat little museum the kids really enjoy it, especially the kids area.

It was a busy but fun first day of school, hopefully tomorrow won't be quite as busy. I will be stopping in here and blogging every couple of days, so please feel free to save this to your favorites and check back in every once in a while
