School's Cool!

Eleven months ago I created a blog thinking that I would use it to keep up with the all the things my family does. The kids would ask me, "Mom, have you written anything in your blog?" and I would say, "No, but when we do ... I will." Well, the time has finally come and I am writing in the blog!
Yesterday was the first day of the 2009-10 school year. Or as I like to call it, a holiday!
Four of the five are in school this year. The boys all start at 8:15 and Kaylene starts at 8:30. Dylan gets out at 2, Nathan and Kyle get out at 3 and Kaylene gets out at 3:30. It makes for a very crazy day!
Kaylene (14) is a freshman at the brand new high school here in town. They aren't all the way finished with it. It has only freshmen and sophomores right now and it will add a grade for the next two years. So when she is a junior, they will have its first senior class. And she started seminary today, too. Wow! Am I seriously old enough to have a high schooler?!
Nathan (12) is in 7th grade. He has Mrs. S. Kaylene had her, too. I think he is mostly happy. Their school is a K-8 so he has to walk to school with his brothers. I think he would rather not but, I don't give him the choice.
Kyle (9) is in the 4th grade. He has Ms. E. Nathan had her, too. So far I am liking this year. All the boys have teachers that their siblings have had. Kyle is excited to ride his new skateboard to school. I make him wear protective gear which he isn't too excited about. Because you know the pros don't!
Dylan (7) is in the 2nd grade. He has Ms. D. Kyle had her, too. I am looking forward to all the progress he will make this year. He already decided to tie his own shoes. So, he is off to a great start.
Logan (4) isn't in school this year. But he wants to be. He has already asked me at least a half dozen times if he for sure gets to go next year. I hope he realizes I mean next school year and not in January. I could be in real trouble. He tells everyone, "I am doing homeschool this year." Where did he learn the word homeschool?!
Anyway, hope everyone else enjoys their 'holiday' too!
