School Time!

Carly trying NOT to have her pic taken. But she's my angel. I just HAD to!

Today was the big day. The kids are back in school. We have Sam in high school (a junior), Carly in middle school (8th gr) and Cj in primary school (3rd gr). All teacher introductions went well yesterday. Cj's teacher told him she really has a fondness for red hair. So this morning when I reminded him he needed to be on his best behavior, he politely reminded me that it's ok, his teacher likes red-heads. Apparently he thinks he's got this one in the bag. It's going to be a great year!

He and Carly ride the bus and both have new bus drivers. Cj's is very, um... thorough! School starts at 8:20 and she picked him up this morning at 8:30. Then she didn't get to our house to drop him off until 4:55. (he typically gets home at 4pm) I took a picture of the clock to prove it! She's going to have to pick up her pace a little bit!

Praise God they finally decided what to do with Brett Favre! Poor darling....just playing tug of war with his little soul. I was really beginning to worry!

Tonight was fun. We headed out to Pennington Biomedical Research Center for the big Hot Air Balloon championship. That started up today. We sat and watched the balloons take off and it really was beautiful. The US Army had a tent set up where you could play a video game to rescue a hostage. Cj tried. He did really well....until he shot the hostage. Needless to say, they gave him a nice departing gift and sent him on his way. All in all, a great day. (um, except for the hostage!)
