The Boys Are Back In SCHOOL

It was Back-To-School Nite tonite, and there were a lot of proud kids, and one big kid who kept trying to cause trouble - love ya, babe!

They changed the schedule this year so that parents with kids in more than one class could actually go together. First up, Jack:

He's been totally digging their Social Studies unit on American symbols, proudly showing off his story and picture of The Lady!

You can probably make it out if you click on the picture, but here's the decipher:

The SoL is special because it is our American symbol. The SoL is as tall as a skyscraper. The SoL is greenish in color (thank you to my -ish friend, Tracy...I still pepper it into daily conversation...see how you live on!). The SoL is holding a book in one hand and a torch in the other. The SoL is made of copper. The SoL is....BIG! I love the SoL.

I noticed she looks like quite the warrior in most of the boys' drawings ;-)

Harry could NOT wait to get us to his room, where he showed off some of his work and his teacher bragged on him. He earned his second kindness card today, so he's hoping he may win the drawing tomorrow. Here he is showing Daddy his book "All about me" - he drew pix of his old and new houses, his family, and a few other things....nary a map in site!

It's shaping up to be a great year - can't wait to see how they grow :-)
