School Days, School Days

Well, school started a couple of weeks ago, on August 24th. It seems like the summer just flew right by! Here is what the kids had to bring this year:
2 backpacks
3 bottles of glue
20 glue sticks
6 boxes of 24-count crayons
1 wide-lined notebook
42 sharpened pencils
4 bottom pocket folders
2 boxes of markers
12 dry erase markers
1 box of watercolors
2 school supply boxes
6 pink pearl erasers
2 pairs of pointed scissors
1 box of kleenexes
1 ream of copy paper
2 containers of Clorox wipes
2 boxes of Ziplock bags
1 set of colored pencils
Here's Ethan, all ready to go and so excited!

Off he goes, on his bike, to pick up his friend Talon. Kind of a rainy first day of school.
This is actually Asia's second day of school since Mom forgot the camera on her first day. Oh well!

One of her first assignments was to trace the hands of all of the members in her family and decorate it. It was fun to compare everyone's hands.

After 2 weeks of school under our belt, I think we finally have a routine down! Now to get myself into a routine, that's another story!
