Tuesday 09/02 - Tomorrow is the First day of school !

Franklin Elementary had an Open House today. Casey got to check in & get acquainted with his kindergarten teacher & classroom, find his seat & the all-important cubby! He’d met the teacher last Fall but this time the room was crawling with his classmates so that was fun. He was a bit shy but I’m sure will warm right up. He’s such a smart cookie, I think he’s gonna love this school thing!

Alex was, shall we say, ambivalent about going today. He has missed his friends this summer, but is perhaps dreading the homework & saddened that the summer went by so fast (me too!). It was fun though because when he walked by his classroom, Alex was positively Mobbed by his buddies, his “guys” :) That put a smile on his kisser…

We brought along the sweet young lady that’s been hanging out with them late this summer & she enjoyed the trip. She’ll be picking Casey up from school at least until her classes begin at OSU at the end of September. We hung out for awhile at the playground & let the guys run around a bit. Now they’re off to pick up a few important items (crayons & colored pencils). There’s just something extra special about starting the school year with a new box of crayons……………

Our bed is covered in school supplies from last year. Many of them are still useful (glue sticks, scissors, pencil-sharpeners) but we’ll do the final sort & see what last-minute items we need to purchase tonight! Derek woke their little selves up early so we’re working on this school schedule. Early bedtimes, then rise & shine!
