First Day of School

Last Monday, 8/25 was Noah's first day of school. They just started a 2 year old program at Wesley Freedom last year so I thought I'd give it a shot. The girls didn't start till they were 3 so this is a whole new experience! He seems so young to be going but I think it's really good for him. He's with me all the time and only plays with Lili so he needs some other interaction with kids. It's on Monday and Tuesdays from 9:15-11:15. He loves it so far. He doesn't cry when I leave and goes right into the classroom. I'm so proud of him. Lili's in his class too which is great. She's doing really well too. Here are some pictures from their first day.

He insists on carrying his tote all by himself.

The girls started school on Tuesday, 8/26. I seriously can't believe I have a 7th grader! And it's pretty cool that Kels has teachers that Ryan and I used to have when we went to Sykesville Middle. This is the first year she's riding the bus to school. It used to be all boys at the bus stop but now that Jenna our neighbor is in middle school she has someone to walk with. Here she is.

And here are the twins....my big 2nd graders. They both got teachers that they wanted and are loving school so far. They're evaluating them for math class right now and I think they're secretly hoping to be in the same math class again like last year. They try to keep twins separated but if there aren't any issues, they'll put them together. It's so much easier for me if they're in the same class. It makes homework much easier. Here are some pics of Morgan and Jenna.

Here we go.....

Well the girls are back in school. You'd think things would settle down around the Harmon house but not quite. The twins are playing soccer and Kelsey is playing soccer and field hockey. Our life consists of practice 3 times a week and games on Saturday and Sunday. It's so nuts around here and of course Ryan is doing side-jobs a few times a week which leaves me doing (what feels like) a thousand things. The funny thing is that as crazy as it is, I can't imagine my life any other way. It's hard to remember back to just having one kid. What did I do all day??? I know one thing, my house was much cleaner back then. haha

Well here are some pictures from Myrtle Beach, SC 2 weeks ago. We had so much fun. It might have been our last year going which makes me sad. Ryan thinks it's too far away and is too much money. It doesn't help that he's not a beach person. He had alot of fun....but wants to go camping next year instead. Camping is not my idea of vacation but I guess we'll see. Maybe we'll take 2 mini vacations instead.

Enjoy the pics.
