3rd Grade and High School

The kids started school on 8/12. Yeah, I know. Super early, but not as early as my nieces who started on the 10th, I think. Emma is excited about her teacher. She used to teach 5th grade. A 3rd grade teacher retired and the 5th grade teacher took the 3rd grade spot. Little Miss Emma Carole thought that this teacher was going to teach the 3rd grade class the 5th grade curriculum. No Sweetie, it doesn't work that way. She was feeling much better (I don't think she was 100%), and she wanted to go to school. We let her go with the understanding that if she didn't feel well, she was to head to the nurse's office. She loves her bookbag. When we found it she exclaimed, "Look Mom. It's candyfied!"

Cameron is now in high school. He's a freshman. When did that happen? When did he grow up?

He was not nearly as willing to for Mommy pose as Emma. I had to run down the sidewalk to get him as Todd stood on the porch laughing at me. iPod in ears and cell phone in pocket. Neither are allowed to be used in school. He's been warned.
