Football and School

I guess that you can tell that school has not just started back for the kids, but also for Todd and I. Not only do the kids have their fair share of homework, but Todd and I are drowning in assignments that we have to get done. I even have a class once a month on Friday night and ALL day Saturday. I keep telling myself that it is only once a month for 3 months!

The kids are all doing GREAT in school right now. Morgan actually has all A's in her classes. She is loving Jr. High. I am glad because I was a little worried about it. The principal really runs the school in a strict, but fun way. I think that the atmosphere seems to have a big difference, she really seems to have a new passion for school.

Savannah has all B's and LOVES Science. She has already read several Box Car Children books. She likes the fact that she has 2 teachers and continues to love school. I am so glad that she enjoys school.

Zach is also doing well. He loves his teacher, Mrs. Mills. He is doing great with all his work.

I am so glad that the kids are having a good year so far.

Well, if school has not been keeping us busy enough, Zach is playing football for the Prattville Youth Lions. He has practice three days a week.

He had his Jamboree game today in Wetumpka. They only played two twenty minute games. They won one and lost one. I think that they played pretty well. They even got to play in the rain!! (Zach is #40)

If I don't make any post for a while, you will know that we are trying to juggle everything.

First Day of School

Monday was a big day for our family! The first day of the new school year is ALWAYS exciting for us and the kids! Morgan started 7th grade! Jr. High! I can't believe that we have a child in Jr. High! She was excited!! When we picked her up from school, she could not stop talking and telling us all about her day! It was actually nice, even though my head was hurting. I was really glad that she enjoyed her first day!

Savannah was excited also! She is in 4th grade! She is excited because she gets to change classes this year! She had a lot to tell us also when she got in the car. She is so excited to be back in school, it is one of her favorite places!

Zachary did not want us to know that he was excited, but he was! He was happy about his teacher, he has only known her since he was about 1 year old! He didn't have as much to tell us as the girls did, but he did tell us about his day.

I am glad that the kids enjoyed their first day and are excited about the new year! I hope that their excitement continues throughout the year and doesn't wear out!

After school and getting Morgan's supplies Zach and Todd had football practice. About the time that they got home, Savannah started telling me that she did not feel well and Todd came in and told me that Zach was real whinny and not feeling well. Our neighbor Landon, has a case of the N1H1 flu, so we are almost sure that the kids have the same thing (they are around each other all the time.) Morgan said that she was going to move out until everyone was better that she could not afford to get sick! Funny how her prospective has suddenly changed.

Savannah and Zach have missed 2 days of the first week so far! I really hope that they are able to go back tomorrow or Friday. That is not a good way to start the first week of school, but that is life!!
