First Day of School

Well, I have two little boys that absolutely love school. Eric is in hog heaven with his teacher, Mr. Swanson. Mr. Swanson is our head basketball coach who has won two state back to back titles. He has all Eric's friends...I think it was planned to be a role model for this talented group of young boys. He is an awesome teacher and mentor for all of them. Eric's desk has a Vikings sticker on it...his 2nd favorite team, so he's a happy camper for 3rd grade! Alic is in heaven! First day went super...they worked briefly on the routines of what they should do. He starts at 12:15 and is done by 3. Friday they got to go out for recess!!! Let me tell you, that is ALL I heard about since he got out Thursday until he went back on Friday. Also how there is a party on the 100th day of school, and the 180th day. TOO FUNNY! It'll be sooo fun to see him grow. Eric is such a natural at things...and Alic takes a little more get up and go to catch on, so I'm excited for this new venture. I had a great first two days. It is so nice to be back in the swing of things again, and what an awesome feeling to be in my 2nd year and over the first year jitters. Things just flowed so much easier. Kids are pushing buttons already, but I try to send them a very clear message first and foremost so they learn their lessons. Anyway...next Friday starts the football season, and the Monday after that volleyball. The fun begins with running night after night to games!!! I just pray for another super year...thinking of my friends in Stuart getting to start next week in their new school. HOW FUN! :)

The countdown is on...

I haven't blog in forever again...lazy and busy. My countdown is on for school to start. The teachers start on Monday and kids on Thursday. WHERE DID THE SUMMER GO!?!?! I have been working pretty regularly the last two weeks. I think I am ready. Very different from last year...this year I feel I'm forgetting stuff! Boys are great. Alic is on his countdown to the first day. Eric will start 3rd grade and play flag fb this fall. He's super excited, as his teacher is our boys bb coach...who won 2 back to back state titles. He will be an AWESOME role model for Eric. Alic will start preschool with my friend Melissa Moser. HE will go from 12:15-3 everyday. He is SOOOOO excited! We have all the school supplies and he got his backpack ready. He is very excited about the first day outfit Grandpa Lux helped him pick out! :) I am ready for year two..feel much more comfortable this year, that is for sure. We've been busy staying a week @ Okoboji with Kelly's fam. I went to DM for a conference for administrators. The boys spent some fun time with Aunt Robin and Grandma and all the cousins. I am looking forward to seeing my brother and sis in law from Denver who will be here Aug 29 for a visit. Haven't seen them in 5 years! Sooo, on to another year. I love it here, the boys love it here and we are happier than ever. Have a good one everybody!
