First Day of School

Thursday, August 21st was the first day of school here in Sioux City. Brianna started 3rd grade and Zach is a freshman (9th grade) in high school! I think both of them were pretty excited to be going back... mostly to see all their friends again! Brianna kept waking me up throughout the night -- three times to be exact! First time, she wanted to let me know that she was just going to the bathroom... second time she needed a drink because she was hot, and the third time she woke me up at 4:15AM wanting to know if I should have been up getting ready for work yet!! She said she couldn't sleep because she was excited about starting school that day!! Her first day of school went well -- she really likes her teacher, Mrs. Bliven, and almost all of her friends are in her class, so she is happy. Zach's first day went well, also. Freshman only went for a 1/2 day in the morning so they could have the whole high school to themselves and get used to their surroundings and find their classes, etc. The only complaint Zach had was that he wished all his classes were on the same floor!! I have posted a picture of Brianna on the first day of school, but I didn't get a picture of Zach... I had to leave for work before he was ready for school and then he had football practice after school and didn't get back home until after 6PM -- all sweaty and "stinky" too, so we didn't get a picture then either! (I will post a picture of him in his football uniform at a later date!)
