First Day of School 8-5-15

School started on August 5th for The Gs here in Arizona. It was so strange starting so early but we quickly got in to the new routine. The school days are longer here than they were in Illinois, but that doesn't seem to phase The Gs much. The other big difference is that they only go to school Monday thru Thursday. Every Friday off! We all love it!

Ready to head off for the first day:

All the backpacks lined up:

Our FIFTH grader!!

Our third graders:

Our baby is in second grade!!

Fun fact, when my family moved from southern Texas to Iowa it was the summer before I started second grade. :)

Fifth grade is proving to be a difficult year. I now understand the premise behind the game show "Are You Snarter Than a Fifth Grader?" We live it everyday!! 

G1 gets to be in band this year and chose to play the trumpet. He had his first concert a couple weeks ago (that post coming at some point). 

G2 and G3 had a Christmas play on their birthday. That post will be coming at some point as well. 

G4 had a Thanksgiving play, again that post will be coming. 

We love all the teachers they have this year. We really have adjusted well to our new town and school.
