First Day of School 2022

 What a whirlwind of a day.

Lucas and I finished up the Braille signs that I designed for our blind student. (6am) So many schedules and kid things I had to fix.  It was crazy in the office. 

Lucas is in STUCO and ran an assembly for the incoming Freshman. Bridget loved it, Scarlett thought it was lame. She did love her Honors Math class at the High School, but was annoyed that people kept asking her how old she was. LOL.

Juliet and Mason had a great first day. They loved their teachers : Bolkcom and Moretz.

I got home before 4:30. ((for once))

Scarlett had Soccer, Lucas had Football, Mason had Football, B and J had nothing today.

It is a whole new world and we are enjoying it so far.  Bridget loved that we started High School together. :)

Technically, Scarlett is in 8.5th grade. She is taking Math here since the Middle School isn't advanced enough.  She is hoping to get into Multivariable Calculus by her Sophomore year, so this is the fastest track for that.

I feel grateful that I was able to get this new job when I did.  I miss my elementary kiddos, but the environment was not good for me, mentally.  The littles got to meet their 4th principal since starting elementary. ((eyeroll)) hopefully this one sticks. 

My bosses are fantastic and love me, and that is just something that is hard to come by these days.  HHS is where it is at!

9/1/21 - 310

 After yesterday's mad rush to get ALL of the supplies needed for middle and high school, we came home we ate and went to Mason's game and ate some more.

We processed books in the Library all day and it was so nice. 

The staff at my school is 90% LDS.  We had a very interesting discussion about Pronouns and other various related topics and what it is like in the High School.  It was weird to be talking about it with people who agree with my views.  I liked it, and I know Maryann did as well. 

 When Scarlett got home I noticed her long legs.

and then the HS band posted this:

She is so good at Music, I wish she would join the band.  I think she would LOVE it.

But, I don't think she can with soccer. 

We had a chill afternoon and then it was time to hit the hay.

Lucas stayed to watch Amarah and Camarie's VB game. 

He is such a good friend. +wink+

8/31/21 - 310

 We had our 1st day of school.  The kids had a great day.

Lucas has this trimester: Weight Training, Ceramics, Botany, Seminary, HOPE, English, and Online A2C.

Bridget has this trimester: Advisory, Earth Science, Math 8, Spanish, Strength Training, World History, Language Arts

Scarlett has this trimester: Advisory, Math 7 which will be Algebra 1 in 2 weeks, Language Arts, Spanish, Improvisational Theater, Science, and History

Juliet has Mrs. Rothwell which will be AMAZING.

Mason has Mrs. Kuharske and since everyone else has had her (minus Scarlett) we know she is a magical unicorn.

In the Library we got all of the Chromebooks out. 549 to be exact, and I am so tired.

Mason had a football game against West Jefferson where they were up 20-19 until the last :03 of the game and then West J scored and the final was 20-25 in their favor. Boo. Hiss.

Mason is 32 Just like Lucas. (heart eyes) 

8/30/21 - 311

 What a day.  Scarlett went to 7th grade only day at the middle school.  Lucas went to Lydia's and played pool with his girls.  Lydia, Amarah, and Camarie.  They had fun.  I wished my best teacher friend, Penny Hart a goodbye that was full of tears.  We have been 2nd grade buddies for 3 years and we talk almost every day.  We are going to miss her so much.

Lucas went to FB practice and asked me if he could go to Taco Bell with his friends. I said sure and when he came up he was dressed up.

I couldn't understand it.

Then I get this picture...

Their last hurrah of summer, I guess. 

Then Lucas texts me "can we go to the temple?" umm YES!

Little did I know they would have ulterior motives...

So funny these boys.  I'm glad he was invited and included and has such a big net of different types of friends.  He isn't pigeon holed into any particular group.  I love it.

8/24-8/29 (315-309)

 Grandma Joyce came to visit.  She watched 4 football games, 3 soccer games, took the girls and Claire to the mall, ate delicious food, went to Reed's and hung out with everyone while I buisly got ready for school.  She was a trooper and the kids had THE BEST time!!!

The kids were sure sad to see her go. Especially Mason.  We can't let Covid get in the way of family time!

8/23/21 - 316

The lady that cuts my hair put in a raffled item for free highlights and I thought I wrote my name down for a free hair cut, but I didn't. Well, I won and since I don't do highlights or anything like that, I thought Juliet would LOVE it.

She has mentioned before that she is worried that her blond is changing into brown and she is the blond one. That is who she is. HAHAHA

She even trimmed off another 3 inches, which makes her 2nd hair cut this summer, but who cares.

She has a lot of hair, so she got 22 foils, or whatever that means. LOL

Lucas picked her up from Hillcrest, since I had my first district meeting of the summer. IT was pretty good.

It was a good meeting, and I even remembered to have Nathan crockpot dinner early enough that we could eat at a decent hour. SCORE!

Our Sunday was at home. The covid numbers are raging right now in my ward and we had a Homecoming of Zerek Prince, so we watched from home in our safe little bubble.

Nathan put the doors on the cabinets, so I had to show the completed house.

This project took forever.  Partly because of Covid taking 6 months for our new windows to arrive.

Nathan moved my 6 foot picture window to the Door wall.  It fit perfectly.  We added 2 more and then got new sliders for the window wall.  We had it done correctly with permits and completely by himself.  He made sure every kid was apart of the process and it turned out beautifully.

 He also built this table. It seats 14 but we have fit 16.

 I think we are going to paint the table legs navy.  But, I'm not sure yet.

I will add one long cushion to the cereal bench and I think we are done! Woohoo!!!

I have to work on the FB sponsor program, so night!
