School Days

Aug 3 was Adam's first day of school.  In the last week before school started, he had only one request - go to Chuck-E-Cheese.  So we made a trip there and the kids plowed through a bunch of tokens and had a good old time.  

I also happened one day to pick up a couple of Star Wars coloring books and I didn't know how much money's worth I'd get out of those!  The boys adore anything to do with Star Wars right now, and they had some large size character faces to color in the books.  So we've been copying them onto cardstock and the kids make masks out of them.  We've got quite a collection already.  

Then Adam had his first day of school this week - a first grader!  This year he is going to Our Lady of Good Counsel catholic school.  He looks so adorable in his school uniform.  This should be a good but challenging year for him.  I think they step things up quite a lot in first grade compared to Kindergarten.  They also attend mass once a week there at the school, a friend of mine went to the school mass today and saw Adam there.  She said he was trying to do the songs and motions that go with it (I think they try to make the mass a little kid friendly).  Most of the kids went to school there before so they knew the routine, but she said he was trying his best.  Week one of school is almost over and they started in on homework on day 2, so I think we're going to be spending a lot more time on homework this year.  

Well more updates hopefully sooner than later this time!
