Remember when it was easy to snap a few pictures on the first day of school where everyone smiled and looked halfway happy to be there? Yah, me neither. Last Tuesday morning, I hustled everybody out there door a few minutes early to get pictures of a FIFTH grader and a THIRD grader. How did that happen? And who are these big kids standing on my front porch?

| I said "smile" and got 1 1/2 smiles and the chin model thing. |

| Can you tell from this picture who was excited about the first day of school and who was lukewarm? |
 |
| And.... picture taking time comes to an end. I have a strict no-wrestling-on-the-lawn-the-first-morning-of-school rule. I'm such a party pooper. |
So we survived the first week of school. Both kids like their teachers. Reina has the same teacher from second grade (we think she is great!) and Will's teacher seems really nice, despite being a Patriots fan. Will told me that he'll miss studying Wyoming history like he did in fourth grade so we talked about all of the interesting US history he'll learn in 5th grade. The fifth graders used to do a Revolutionary War reenactment but we're not sure if he'll get to do it this year (budget cuts.) While Will was describing the battle reenactments, he made a machine gun noise. Yep, there's still a lot to learn about US history buddy.
Bring on the school year!
