Back to School

Sorry everyone, I've been a little busy with the girls and getting them back into a school routine and such. I know I haven't blogged a whole lot lately. The girls are back in school and doing great so far. Chelsey started Middle school this year and is in 6th grade. She likes it. She has 4 teachers that she moves between for classes and seems to really like all of them. She has already had her first school dance. That was quite the drama week.. But overall doing really great!

Kylee is in 2nd grade with Mrs. Mantz as her teacher this year. She has actually had a rough start to her year. There has been a few changes to her routine that she has had the last couple years. Her older sister is no longer with her at school, and she lost 2 really good friends that moved away. So her little world got a little turned upside down. Also after the first couple weeks she started complaining of not liking school, and not wanting to go anymore. This was strange for Ky. So I kept asking her questions. She finally told me she was sitting between two boys that wanted to copy her work and she wouldn't let them. Then they teased her for not letting them. She had already tried to talk to the teacher herself, but the teacher ignored her request to move. So I went one morning and helped out in the classroom and also addressed the issue to the teacher. She immediately felt bad for not listening to Kylee and moved her to a better spot in the classroom. She kept apologizing for the problem. I think we have solved all the problems so far and she is enjoying school once again.

Isabella started KINDERGARTEN!!! Thats right I am kid free during the day now..ha ha. She has Mrs. Laurino and is in the extended kinder program. This is a class that they are trying for the second year now. It keeps certain kids that are older or have been to preschool for and another 1.5 hrs. She has really enjoyed it so far and is making lots of new friends.

As for me, that left with with a lot of changes myself. My oldest in Middle School, my youngest in Kinder. I am now looking for a part time job and have taken on watching a couple little girls a couple times a week. Here are a couple pics of my girls on the first day of school
