Back to School? Already?

Well, school officially started for the Bruce kids last Thursday, yep, AUGUST 9TH.  I feel like it's a bit early considering they don't get out any earlier than normal (May 22nd), but hey, apparently I don't make those decisions so off they went.

We found out a few days before school started who the kids' teachers would be.  Boston got Madi's first grade teacher, Mrs. Martin.  I was really happy about this because she was so great to Madi her first year at AES when she was struggling with missing Manhattan so much!  Madi got a brand new first year teacher, Mrs. Schmollinger - probably a good thing she's teaching 3rd grade and not Kindergarten with a name like that!  Madi was a little disappointed at first when she found out that her two besties were in class together, without her, but she got over it fairly quickly when she found out another one of her friends, Rayne, was in her class, so all is well in her world now :)

Madi - 1st day of school 2012-13

Boston - 1st day of school 2012-13

My minions!

With school brings Fall sports.  After singing them up for soccer today the kids are enrolled in WAY TOO MUCH!  Boston is playing football, soccer and Fall baseball.  Madi is taking ballet, jazz, piano & soccer.  Like I said, TOO MUCH.  I don't know when the soccer practices will be, but I'm hoping Tuesdays because as of now, that's the only weekday available (except Friday, but they usually never do practices on Friday's)

1st day of Fall Ball practice - he thinks he's pretty big time now!!

Anyway, that's what's going on in our world for now, hopefully with all these sports, I'll be able to blog a little to keep everyone up to date on how they're doing.
