A few Friday's back my kids had their orientation for school. We got their school supply lists (which is always overwhelming), they met their teachers and of course we couldn't pass up on some new school spirit shirts. They are green and black and the mascot is the stormers! Taylor was especially excited that her shirt had some bling on it.
First Day of SchoolSan Tan Elementary
We are currently into our second week of school. Luke was beyond excited the first couple of days and then he decided that staying home sounded much more fun. It broke my heart to see him so sad about school. He loved it so much last year, but I am sure that a large campus is MUCH different than little preschool. Luckily by Thursday he was all smiles again and found himself a little buddy (which is now in our ward--yay!)
This is Luke and Magnus (both in navy blue) on the first day of school. It cracks me up how shy they are and once we see them afterschool they are completely different little boys.
On the 31st my sweet Taylor turned 11. She is growing up to be quite a young woman. It's crazy to think this will be her last year of primary. Her biggest birthday surprise was getting sung live to by her dad. And since her dad was home he was able to grill her steak (I don't do the grill) She received a lot of clothes and her prize possession i-pod. (it's nicer than mine) All and all I think she had a great day.
With Doug officially home I can now sleep sound. I can't even explain how nice it is that we are a family again. My kids behavior has improved tremendously and I have now learned to cook again (ha). We spent the day on Saturday swimming at Doug's sister Debbie's house and then on to more swimming at our ward party.
Doug and I have been trying to finish up changing our address, opening up bank accounts, etc. It has been a long process and I am thrilled to say that we will NEVER be moving out of this state again. We spent the morning getting our car tags and drivers licenses. It's official we are Zonies!
