Open House at the kids’ school went really well tonight. The hallways were very congested and all of the parents seemed to have big smiles on their faces! I heard many of the mothers say that they were just ready to get back into a routine, which I have to agree with myself. I love having the kids home during the summer, but we tend to get out of routine by the end of summer and things can get a little hectic. I think the kids crave a routine as well even though they will not always admit it.
School starts next Tuesday for us. Our Kindergartner is excited, yet nervous about starting school. He got to check out his classroom and meet his teacher. He even took a tour of the school bus! Our 4th grader says he doesn’t want to start school, but I really just think he is nervous about going back and getting into that routine again. Last year his best friend was in his class and this year he is not, which is not always a bad thing! He was pleased to see that the teacher in his homeroom had seated him with 3 other boys that he knows and gets along with.
All of our school fees are paid…thank goodness! I’m always surprised at how much everything costs. We pay school fees, buy school supplies, school clothes, school shoes, new glasses (which we have yet to order. We always need a back up pair just in case!) For any of you with kids with glasses, or if you wear them yourselves you can go online to Zenni Optical and order glasses for as low as $8 a pair!!! Yes, these are prescription glasses I’m talking about! I order my glasses there as well! (Just had to pass that tip along. I always love a good deal!)
The kids are all tucked into bed and I’m quite tired myself. We are starting our routine of getting up early tomorrow, so I better get my butt to bed.
More to come on Raising my 4 sons! Thanks so much for following. 🙂
