Alas, the time has come when they do have to go to school. (I seriously would home school my kids but my in-laws are both public school teachers so it's a "no go" in this family. I also realize that there is more education that takes place in school than mere book work and that is important too.)
Esteban is starting the 7th grade. I know. I know. I can't believe he is that old either. He is excited to take Spanish. When I need to talk to Aaron and the kids are in the room, we speak Spanish. That might have to change now.
Ethan is in middle school, in the 6th grade. He was lost only once today. Whooooohooooooo! He managed his locker and changing classrooms quite well.
Here are my older two boys headed off to school on their bikes. I so wanted to go with them but, I'm not "allowed".
The elementary school has back to school night on the night before school starts. AJ (4th grade) and Savanah (kindergarten) found their classrooms and met their teachers last night. Savanah starts school next week (I'll write an entire post on how different the school system is here compared to Texas.) Anyway, I thought the school did back to school night so the parents wouldn't go the next morning. I found out today that most parents still take their kids to school on the morning of the first day. I hate those "I'm such a bad mom!" moments. Here is my AJ as I sent him out the door by HIMSELF. 
The worst part was the fact that AJ is fine that I wasn't there with him. Ethan informed me that AJ wasn't a baby anymore and I need to get over it. (That's easy for him to say, he is not the mom.)
Anyway, that is my depressing day. I do have to say, the house was pretty quite comparatively speaking and when I cleaned the kitchen, it actually stayed clean! Maybe there is a silver lining after all!
