The three oldest kids started school today. I think we must be the last district in the country to start school! They were excited, as they should be. It is going to be a great school year!
Aubrey is a 4th grader! She picked out her very cute "first day of school" outfit. Over the summer, she learned to do her own hair entirely, and she designed this special hairdo for the first day.
Most days, Dan drives Aubrey to school on his way to work. Because she goes to a magnet challenge school, there is no bus provided.
Bailey is in her second year of Middle School - 7th grade. I drive her to the local Middle School, where she catches a bus to the school she attends - Vancouver School of Arts and Academics. She is excited to see her friends, but not so happy about the return of homework.
"Mooooom!" I couldn't resist getting a parting picture as she got out of the car to walk to the bus. I'm sure she was terrified that I would embarrass her!
Brandon is a Senior in High School this year. He didn't have early morning Seminary this morning (it starts tomorrow), so as he left for school there was at least some light for my picture-taking. Whereas the girls had previously laid out their outfits for the first week of school, this morning Brandon scrounged through his pile of clothes for something to wear. Finally, he pulled something out of the dirty clothes and asked me if it smelled. Yes, it did. Luckily, I found something unoffensive in the unfolded clothes in the laundry room!
Brandon leaving in his car. Make that Dan's car. The resolution of Dan's car mess (see previous posts) is that Dan is taking over the Hyundai we bought last year. When the rental car goes back this Friday, Brandon is without a car until we can find a suitable used car.

Where's Joseph in all of this?!? I hope he was inside running around and making as much noise as he wanted now that he has you all to himself again!
