Back to the daily grind

And just like that with a snap of the fingers we are back to school and all the craziness it involves.  We had a very eventful first day.  I received a text from Ian approx. 1 hour after school starts telling me that one of his springs in his braces broke.  The spring sprung is how I was referring to it.  I called the orthodontist and the best possible option to get it fixed was at 2:00pm later that day.  On Ian's very first day of 8th grade, he missed the last hour of school.  Ugh.  This so wasn't on our schedule.   We went from 0 to 60 in no time flat in going with the flow while being thrown a curve ball.

When Ian arrived at the orthodontist, it took 4 technicians all working on his mouth for a solid hour to figure out how to fix the problem so it wouldn't happen again.  You can imagine Ian's level of joy at having 4 sets of hands hovering over his mouth, all holding various dental instruments.

Samantha had a great first day of school and really likes her teacher.  This makes me really happy.  Because having to convince Sam to go to school in the mornings is not my idea of fun.  Due to enrollment over the Summer, Sam's school added a fifth 5th grade class. She got an awesome teacher with only 24 students in her class.  So fantastic!

We ended the day on a sweet note and continued our tradition of ice cream on the first day of school.  This year it was Samantha's choice on where we went and Dairy Queen it was.  Yum!


First day of 8th grade!!

First day of 5th grade!!!

So. Not. Happy.

Dairy Queen for the win!



Our countdown has already begun...just another 179 days of school left before summer vacation.
