First day of school 2013

Wow!  Here is to our fifth school year in the Ozarks.  

And, in so many words, here is how the first day was . . .

Anna

"it was good.  we didn't play games though. (insert pitiful noises)

on mom and anna day"

 Casey

 made it half day and then the arm couldn't take it anymore

best of 3rd grade:  "seeing friends"

worst:  "lunch because I hit my arm"

 Jill

best part of kindergarten:  "3 recesses"

worst part:  "this girl, she made lily and i, to go looking for her boyfriend, 

and they broke up, and it was so weird"

 Maggie

best of fifth grade:  "softball practice"

worst:  "i was bored about rules and stuff so i snuck out paper to draw"

 Sam

 "early morning seminary was . . . awesome"

best of 10th grade:  "seeing all of the blank faced freshmen"

worst:  "schedule still messed up.   argh."

 Zach

 best of 7th grade:  "if i do choir, i don't have to go to library"
worst: "if i don't do choir, i have to go to library :("

missing sam because of seminary

oh, no

Casey broke his arm.  So sad.  

Round off, back handspring and pop.  

Both bones in his forearm broken and lots of tears.  

But, no screaming. 

A trip to the ER.

A good doctor.

And, it was set in place.

What a brave kid.
