First day of school

We had a shorter than usual summer this year (9 1/2 weeks). For some reason they got out late and started early. As soon as Dave and Spencer got home from the 50 miler, it was time to go to all kinds of orientations. Spencer's in 9th grade and has started high school, early morning seminary and cross country. Tyler's in 7th grade, and he has started working in the snack bar. Dallin is in 5th grade, and Brennan is in 2nd. They are so excited that their new principle has gotten rid of the line-up-after-recess rule! Now they get to go straight to class instead of being yelled at by the yard duty that their lines aren't quiet/straight enough. Rediculous. Finally, Levi attends transitional kindergarten at a different elementary school. So that's 5 boys in 4 schools. It's a little bit crazy!

Levi goes to school at 10:30, so he gets to stay and play with Chloe for a couple hours after everyone else leaves. These two are becoming good friends!

The house becomes very quiet after they all leave and it's just me and Chloe at home. She's a pretty good shopper, although she feels so strongly about so many things that everything takes a really long time. I must say, I quite enjoy naptime. I get to have two whole hours all to myself!

Levi LOVES school! He loves his teacher (Ms. Starr), his friends, his lunch, his homework, and his schedule. This is going to be a great year for him!

He came home the first day and announced, "They didn't teach me how to read yet." He is so excited to learn!
