I'm embarrassed to notice that it has almost been a year since my last post. Wow. That's a record, even for me. Hopefully this won't turn out to be the only post for 2010. LOL.

The kids started school last week. It's a new experience having a high school student. I think I'm still in denial. It just seems like yesterday that Jordan was a toddler running around the house with a bucket on his foot. What happened? I think Jordan is wondering what happened also, since he already had a homework assignment for the weekend (a report, of all things, after only 2 days of school).

Jenna is now at the Middle School. I'm not so worried about her, since Josh is there too. I'm so thankful he is on the bus with her. They both seem to like their teachers. Emma is the only elementary school student in the family now. Hopefully this will be a good school year for everyone, including me.

So far, I've gotten the most homework, with all the school forms to fill out. ARGH. It's the same information, required multiple times on different forms for each kid. Multiply that by four kids and it becomes overwhelming. These forms really ought to be available on the computer, so that I could fill them out online. Oh well.

The pool temperature is down to 80 degrees. It's COLD!!! The kids got in today, and I noticed that they fight basically the same amount whether the water is warm or cold. I was wondering about that.

Here are some pics from the first day of school. The girls were SO happy to go back, but the boys . . . well, you can see for yourself. It was hilarious.



There . . . my first blog of 2010 and it was relatively painless :) Much easier than filling out school forms.
