Back To School

Go SeaStars! Eve and Andrew headed back to school in mid August. We are still adjusting to getting up at the unseemly hour of 6:30. It might as well be seminary!
Andrew likes his teacher and new friends. He likes to eat in the cafeteria (although nothing has been removed from his lunchbox when he gets home except pretzles.) When asked what he likes about first grade he said, "what's not to like?" I do find it funny that whenever I ask if he plays with friends from last year during recess he says, "I can't find them!" He also says that about his homework folder and sweatshirts!
Eve loves having the same awesome teacher as last year- she even has a teacher name- Mrs. Wise. She admits liking her teacher and other stuff but says she really just likes seeing her friends. She is very vocal about her dislike of homework and, in great dramatic flair, will begin moaning and groaning when I remind her that she does not need to worry- she only has 12 plus years more to go of it! She was has been taking piano for a year and a half but recently "took a break" since it is "just too much for me right now!" At least she lets me know when she is overwhelmed!
As you can see they have very different personalities but both are sweet kids, full of love, and, when they have had enough sleep, can be very pleasant to be around ;) We love them!
