The One With Our First Week of School

 

 

Emmie and I had out first week of  school this week in the hybrid environment. It was nice to be back...but exhausting!

The One With The Three Weeks to School

 

 

It has been a whirlwind last three weeks. As a result of Covid, school has started up slowly this fall. We had an extra ten days of trainings, which have been helpful, but exhausting. It will be weird to see what this fall has in store for us.

The One With The First Two Weeks of School

And so it happened....

September is upon is and with it - the first weeks of school.

It seems to have worked out well for everyone.

Kiff is enjoying his classes.

Bri is thoroughly enjoying hers.

Emmie has a great group of kids.

And I do to, in a new modular.

Always fun to have school around again

The One With Back to School Shopping

When mid-August comes, it can only mean one thing. The dreaded time for kids, parents, and teachers alike.


BACK TO SCHOOL SHOPPING


Well, in between breaks of going into our classrooms, that is what Emmie and I did this week with the kids. We went up to New Hampshire and spent times at the outlets shopping.

I was quickly reminded why it is not my favorite pasttime. Zoinks.

First, some of the places were packed. Which is always my favorite thing. My pseudo-claustrophobia strikes when it gets too crowded in stores. At one point in time in a Nike Store I had to move pronto.

Then, Emmie and Bri spent time in the Loft, while Kiff and I literally went to five stores - one of which was a five minute walk away. Good times.


And there was a trip to Justice, where I had to be a fashion consultant....which almost never happens. Kiff's opinions are usually trusted more than mine.

Still, it was a fun and memorable experience...and a traditional way to wind down summer....which I always hope never ends.

The One With Emmie's Classroom

Yesterday, we had a fun day visiting Emmie's classroom. It was a great experience. She is heading back to school to teach for the first time - full time - in a while.

She is excited.

It is great to see her in the classroom. All four of us went in to help her set up. The room is going to be great!

The One With The Bash

Yesterday was the annual after school bash at Bri and Kiff's school. It was a ton of fun.

Unlike most years, when we were participants, we volunteered to help this time.  It was plenty of work but a lot of fun.

Tons of people came. There was plenty to do, lots of music, opportunities to talk, and plenty of time on the playground.

Emmie was in charge of getting some of the food, so we started early in the morning. By the time the events and cleanup for over, it was quite time.

It was a great day and an excellent way to get back to school. It was great to see so many people volunteer to make the bash fun for their children and their families.
