The First Day

It is now 3:30 and the the first day of school is complete. The Girl was up at 6:15 and fully dressed. She wasn't eager to start school one bit. School started at 8:10, 10 minutes late but sooner than I had expected. It went pretty well. The first thing we do on the first day of school is take a picture of the kids by the front door. We have done this since The Girl's first day of preschool.It is really neat to see how the kids have changed each year. They loved goofing off this year.

And this is our school room ready and waiting:

Boy 1 did really well. He was actually able to sit and listen to me read, he even answered questions with nearly correct answers. Thank goodness for Star Wars Legos. We have finally found something that holds his interest long enough to sit and hear Mommy read our study books aloud. The Girl did great with her studies today. She was disappointed that I hadn't planned out her Latin so she could start today. We only had one emotional outburst from her. She was frustrated and cried because the boys were loud and distracting while she was trying to do her dictation exercises. All in all a good day was had and I am very happy to be back homeschooling my three little monkeys.
