Back to School!

Well, it is that time of year again...back to school. I can't believe that I have a fifth grader, third grader, and now a kindergartener!! Jackson was very excited about starting kindergarten. He was happy to see some of his friends in his class.

Getting ready to start the first day of school!
On the way to school the first day
Reagan and Grayson started school a week before Jackson. They both love their new teachers.
Grayson, my big third grade boy! Grayson was happy to go to school. He is excited about third grade and all the friends that are in his class. His class has a reward system with play money and he gets the choice of prize for his earned bucks. This is very exciting for him and a great incentive for good work. He is starting soccer soon and is also in cub scouts this year. He will also be singing in the church children's choir. Reagan is starting out with a tough teacher, but she is up for the challenge. She is going to busy this year with a new gifted and talented pull out program called H.O.T.S (higher order thinking skills) where every Tuesday she goes to another school. She is also taking piano lessons, playing volleyball, joined two choirs, and student counsel. She decided not to be in girl scouts this year.
Jackson, my baby, is going to do great in kindergarten. He is so happy to be going to school like a big kid. He recently learned how to ride his bike without training wheels and is learning to tie his shoes. He is already an avid reader, but the social experience of kindergarten will be good.

Now with all the kids in school, I will be working. I have recently changed companies and now work for a company that only works for VA hospitals which makes my work that much more familiar and rewarding. I love it. I decided to only work part time so I can volunteer more at school and to keep my house running smoothly. So far, it has worked out great!
