SCHOOL

Its official!! School has started for everyone. Aaron is in the 8th grade, Lauren is in the 2nd grade, and Alex is in Kindergarten. Heather will start tomorrow and she is sooo not ready. Everyone got up and going in plenty of time, but not without a few bumps. Alex decided he did not like school (even though he had not yet been), Lauren was upset because Alex was going to get to rest after lunch, and we discovered that Aaron did not have enough clothes that fit! I really thought that we had gone over that. Lunch was going to be chicken rings with a dinner roll and mashed potatoes. A winner with everyone! We all had our backpacks and has already turned in out school supplies and were ready to go. We left in plenty of time but did not take into consideration all of the thousand parents doing the same thing! Clark finally dropped us off and left to drive around. We then stood in a line to get in with a million other people and watched as some people tried to jump ahead because they had other places to be. Well, so did I!! As well as about half of those in line with us. There was general rumbling about that. Aaron took Lauren to her class while I took Alex who promptly proceeded to run on ahead! When we got to his class, I had to call him back to get a kiss! I then went to Lauren's class and on the way saw Aaron helping another mom with an armload of school supplies to her child's class while trying to keep up with a toddler. What a guy!! After saying goodbye to Lauren, we hurried to get to Aaron's school because we had to see about a schedule change. My heart was broken again when he asked to be let out first while we parked so he could go on in. We talked to someone about changing Aaron's schedule to include Track. At schedule pick-up, Clark and Aaron were pulled aside by the coach to see why Aaron was not in track. He has four pre-AP classes as well as Gateways to Technologies, Mythology and Theater 2. The counselor is looking into it for us. It should prove to be interesting. Clark and I did laundry and went to lunch twice and worked out carpool arrangements. Not much time off for us yet! No pictures from today but we will get them this week when there is less craziness....maybe!
