first day of school has come and gone...

my kiddos are off to a great start.  my goal this year is to be more prompt and scheduled with school happenings.  i must admit that in the past the homework times have so varied and good breakfasts haven't been inforced.  not that my kiddos haven't always had meal options but i just haven't always been health conscious like i should have.  i've always encouraged my kiddos and praised them but this year i am striving to be more structured and untop of things more.  wish us luck. lol

Sydnee is pushing 14!!!!  she has started 8th grade which is the highest level in the middle school.  we didn't do much with her visit to the school before hand as she has the school pretty much memorized.  she's going to be exeriencing some mixed media art classes and also a work shop style class where she will learn some woodworking skills (i told Josh that she can help him in the garage after that, ha).

Lake will be 11 come end of October.  he still loves to play football out on the recesses with his buddies just like for the last few years.  like Syd, he is at the top of the grades in his school.  i can't believe he is in 5th grade.  hopefully the girls won't bother him too much this year as they do every year (wishful thinking).  Seriously, i think every year after 1st grade i have had to speak to his teacher on his behalf about the girls that sit around him and how they both his learning experience.  don't get me wrong, he's had a crush on one for the last few years but he still isn't all "into" the girls yet.

i so wish them the best year yet!
