First Day of School!

I admit it:  I haven't been looking forward to the start of school.  Who wants to listen to incessant whining and complaining about having to lounge around in the pajamas and work on school for two hours a day.  Yeah, seriously.  They moan about that.  Are you kidding me?!

Anyway, we are trying out a new curriculum this year.  LifePacs by Alpha Omega publications.  It's a Christian-based teaching package that lays out their lessons in workbook form.  It's a great grab-and-go format that is, so far, really working for us.  Which is what I have been praying for, since we have the new little one added to the mix.

We've got one week down, and it was overall a great week.  Hardly any complaining and no tears.  Not even with math.  The average school day lasts about 1.5 hours for Savvy and 4 hours for Riley.  Brooke is doing kindergarten work on ABCMouse.com, and then does a little handwriting and reading work on the side.  I'm not completely crazy by the end of the day.  I call that a success.

Here are some pictures of our first day of school.  No spiffy new clothes or shiny new backpacks.  No school bus in the background, unless you see one on the street in front of the house, waiting to park in the bus barn area.

Just praying the following weeks of school go as well as the first one!
