Well, we've put this off as long as our hearts and brains could handle. Having evaded in-person school since March 2020, enjoying not just one but two awesome summers as well as an entire successful year of online learning, nearly a full 18 months after Emma wished to me that she could just be homeschooled (and has since learned to be careful what you wish for!), we have finally turned back to school. After a year of wondering what our new schools are like on the inside, the time has finally come to find out.
Leah is loving the look of the 9th-grade-only Southwoods School.
Adam is excited about being the top dog 6th grader at Jordan Creek Elementary.
Emma is loving the purple lockers and the friends she already knows in her 4th grade class.
And Noah, bless his heart for only having 7 months of in-person school under his belt so far, is ready to take on the world in 2nd grade!
But before the big day came, we had to get ready for our return to school! That meant new backpacks and lunchboxes- this new one on the right looks like a high schoolers lunchbox!
Back to school packages-
and lots of back to school shopping- no sweatpants and bare feet this year!
Haircuts for these shaggy brothers,
and plenty of playing! Tea parties for the girls,
and Suitorfest! The best game ever, in which the girls pretend to select the most eligible prince in all the land.
Lots of slow mornings with feet tucked under bums on stools,
and lots of reading, always.
Also, the mess making creative play. Yikes! In some ways everyone is definitely ready to go back to the structure and challenge of school!
