First Day of School. . . check!

I can't believe it actually started. . . it was a little hectic, but we got kids to school. . . and everything else today. The boys came home sooo happy with school. I will add pictures later.

school tomarrow!

Supposedly they have a tentative agreement on the table, and school should be starting tomorrow. . . it is about time! 10 days of missed school that will have to be made up somewhere?? . . . sounds a bit crazy to me.

I am just thrilled it is over!

More water fun.

Sunny afternoon on the Lake

Kayser loving the water and the boat. . . thanks to our good friends Paul and Michelle for inviting us. The kids had a blast, and at stake conference today all Kayser could think about was riding the boat again. . . he was pretty funny on the boat . . . not scared at all. All the kids jumped in with their life jackets and swam next to the boat too. Soooo much fun!

Day #8 of school days missed

I am wondering if my title should be day #1 of Home School. . . ha ha. . . the boys are going crazy. . . . so tomorrow we are starting a pseudo home school to add some structure and purpose to their non purposed days of never ending summer break. The school district is ridiculous. . . and my feeling is their dirty laundry is about to be aired. . . they are hiding financial records from the court. . .something is up. Regardless of who is at fault. . the kids need to be in school. .


We started preschool for the two little ones on Tuesday. . at my house with four other kids. So far so good, our first day was fun. We have an ESL student which should be interesting. Having the older boys home was a little challenging, so we will make other plans tomorrow.

Moses Lake

We went and camped in Moses Lake and checked out the little water park they had . . . it turned out to be totally great. Great price, and totally fun water stuff. . . we will go back again next summer. . we all had such a fun time. . . such a great sunny getaway from our grey skies.

day #2 of no school . . .

so obviously the teacher's did strike and school still has Not started. . . apparently teacher's striking in this state is not uncommon. . . but our superintendent has decided to take a different approach from the norm of negotiating. . . he has sent an injunction to the Supreme court that would force teachers back to school. So the message that I received stated that school would not be in session indefinitely???? Say What??? What does that mean, and why is this state so Crazy when it comes to dealing with political situations. I don't think the teachers demands are so unreasonable, but the timing is poor considering the economic state of the nation.

And may I add i hate being in limbo. . . not knowing what to plan for kids. . I need a plan, and need to know what to expect. Can I enroll my kids in Idaho or Utah and go on vacation. . . ha ha. . . oooh maybe hawaii.
