First Day of School

Alexandra and Isabel were absolutely thrilled about starting school. I registered the girls last Friday where we received a tour and met their teachers at a Christian School which is highly recommended in our area. We decided to enroll them one week early since Michael and I were both home for the week packingng and to allow for more time to drop them off if necessary. We had to do some school shopping to get some essential supplies: sleeping bags and pillows for naps, scissors, pencils, etc. The girls thought they were soo cool! That first day of school, we dropped the girls off with no problems whatsoever. They were actually very excited for me to leave. When I arrived to pick the girls up, they did not want to leave.. in fact, Alexandra tried convincing me to come back in a little while. On the way home, they told me all about the things they learned. They knew a parable Jesus had taught, worked on memorizing a scripture (which they do every morning.. sort of like seminary huh?), were learning some sign-language, letters, and numbers. I was amazed at how productive they had been in just one day. They even took a field trip to the local park since the weather had been very nice. There first week at school went better than I could have ever hoped.. definately making it easier for me to go to work. Isabel has even mastered potty so that she could go to school! The school goes up to first grade so we are actually considering possibly keeping them there rather than enrolling them in the public schools next year!
