Back to school (and post 1000!)

Back to school, Jen?  On the final day before October? 


Well, when you get busy and have committed to posting a 19 day long epic vacation, your back to school gets postponed.


We returned from our trip with only a couple days to prepare for Bugs' first big day at jr high. 

 
The day before he started we picked up his schedule and he got his locker figured out.

 
All ready!
 


First day
 
 

 
 
The underclassmen get to begin without the big mean 8th and 9th graders there so that their first day is calmer and the school is easier to navigate.

 


 
Bye Bugs!
 
 

 
A few days later it was Potter's turn to join him.
 

 
He's grown about 4 inches this year! Sorry it's dark - he leaves at the butt crack of dawn!
 



And looks so old to me.  Strider never looked like this in 9th grade.


 
Little 2nd grade Princess started with Jedi 2 weeks later
 
 


Charter school this year, including uniforms


 
5th grade baby boy!
 




 
They, too, have to be ready an hour earlier than they are used to.  They leave at 7:15!
 
 


They both have a rigorous schedule this year but they are getting into it and I know they will succeed.

 
 
 
On the same day that elementary started, jr high had a wear-your-favorite-school-colors day.

 
 
Silly rivalry :/
 
 
 
 
Happy 1000 posts to me.  And thanks to you for reading!
