The kids went back to school yesterday, so when they came home, I got homework. I joke with the kids that this is the only day of the school year when they dont get any homework, but I do. Today, is dedicated to the first day of School!

1. I dropped the Eldest off for her first day of 8th grade.

2. Came home and fed Youngest breakfast, fixed his lunch and then dropped him off at school

3. Ah, peace and quiet!…now what to do with all this free time? well, I was going to sleep for a little bit…but that didnt happen, till later on.

4. I got a phone call from the lady at the first house that we had looked at. She hasnt found anyone to rent to and is reconsidering up for her house. We will hopefully find out soon what she is going to do

5. I did end up taking a short nap, but then had plenty of other “housework” to do

6. I finished with a little time to spare, sat for a few and then headed to get Eldest from school.

7. Dropped her off and went to get youngest, he was all excited. and very hyper

8. On the way home he told me that he got a time-out at school for trying to be a “rock star” in music class. But that wasnt all, at the end of his time-out, he told his teacher he wanted another one?!?

9. Now I have to consider talking with his teacher about his behavior… :S

10. I got home and got straight to work on the, Emergency contact forms, library permission slip, lunch forms….first for Eldest, then for Youngest.

11. Half way through the Youngest, I figured out that I had put the wrong phone number on the forms…thank goodness for whiteout

12. I put all the forms in the correct folders and thought that I was done…

13. But alas, while I took Eldest to Young Womens this evening, Youngest took all of his colored pencils out, and sharpened them…all over the floor. I now wish I hadnt gotten the colored pencils with the little sharpener for free

Well, that is my interesting first day of school. How was yours? (I know some kids started a long time ago…and some kids havent gone back yet, but please share)

I know I promised horses, and I will be getting those pictures, hopefully next week
