The kids started school in August and the posting of these pictures are way past due. I'm sorry, I really do need to get some better self discipline for this blogging business. Rylin likes Kindergarten so far, he sits at a table full of "Greallz" (girls) and they all like him and are nice to him. We are wondering how many will be added to the other two girls in the neighborhood he has already promised matrimony to. He already has homework which seems a bit of a shock for five year olds. This is your first time away from Mom for ALL day, this is your first time without the option for a nap and after having school all day you have homework.
Gage's grades are up quite a bit from last year. It is really hard to figure how the school year is going to go until you get past the first quarter as that seems to be all review from last year. Gage is signed up for Boyscouts and his first meeting will be this coming Monday. He is really excited about this and the camping trips. I have already offended his troop leader by asking where you buy the 'outfits' from, apparently they are called 'uniforms'.
Frankie is getting used to the 4th grade and the new responsibilites of it. This seems to be the grade in which they make you responsible for writing down your own assignments, spelling words etc. instead of sending a sheet home with it already listed. This is taking some time for Frankie to get used to. He tried out for the school chorus and made it. He is thrilled with this. It was my suggestion as he seems to sing all the time anyway, might as well do something with it. Both the boys extra-curricular activities are dependant on grades according to both the school (for chorus) and myself (for boyscouts). Hopefully, these will make good incentives for this year.
Finn celebrated having both Mom and the run of the house/toys to himself by enjoying a pudding. This was actually meant to keep him out of trouble so I could accomplish a couple quick things. It led to much more work as I had to scrub the wall, the floor and the baby!

Glad school is going well so far...and it's good to see that Finn's not totally bereft to be the only one at home. Love the pudding on the wall!
Congrats to Gage and Frankie for their new activities and fresh start to the school year! The best part to the new year is a new beginning--go for it, guys! Can't wait to hear about the concerts and the badges on this blog!
