Back to School again...

Luke & Blondie had their first day of school on Monday. It seems crazy that they're already back for the new school year. Luke is 4th grade this year and has the same teacher that M&M had for 4th grade - and Blondie is 2nd grade. On Thursday I took Kitty to school to meet her kindergarten teacher and do some kindergarten testing. She goes for her first day on Tuesday.

There have been a couple of changes made at the school for this new year. First of all the school day is starting a half hour later than last year - so it also ends a half hour later. I'm not really liking it so far because this is really going to cut into the day - plus any after school activities such as scouts, piano lessons, soccer practices. Apparently it was done because of some cuts within the school district and buses having to be doubled up between the different schools. Another change this year is that there is not a kindergarten bus for our school. That means that I am going to have to drive Kitty to school every day and then she will ride the bus home at the end of the day with Blondie and Luke.
