Success!

We survived the first day of school! 

The kids had fabulous days. Issa is still a little uncertain about the beginning of the school day and where she goes when, but she loves all of her teachers! The only major disappointment was that she has to sit with her social studies class at lunch, and none of her close friends are in that class. But...Fridays they can sit wherever they want, so there's hope!

Evan loves his teachers, too! He was most excited to take in his Usagi book today. I'm just thrilled he is excited about the idea of silent reading this year!

After school, we made it through our first crazy Monday. The boys have started going to a later class on Mondays, and they are thrilled to find that many of their favorite training partners made the same decision.

Issa had her first dance class of the season:
I think this group of girls is in for a great year!

I managed to make dinner and get it on the table just as planned, which I think is a huge accomplishment for the first day of school!

Brad and I played calendar jenga last night. He has a new full-time client, a conference, and a farewell dinner this week for a former colleague. I teach two nights this week and have a committee meeting, and we are going to visit friends this weekend so all ninja time has to be on the weekdays. That is a lot for the first week of school! Thank goodness Nana came to the rescue and is running some of the carpool duty this week!

Here's to great beginnings...
