The boys headed back to school the 8th of August. When we first moved here I wondered why on earth do these desert people go back to school in the middle of summer. I have to admit after three summers here I am one of those desert people who relish the thought of the kids being back in school. What on earth are you going to do with your kids for another month of insane heat???? Two months is ok, three not so much!
Matthew started Kindergarten and loves feeling like he is one of the big kids now. He had to wear the same thing as Brandon on the first day. If the kids wear shorts they have to wear uniform shorts and shirts, if they wear pants they can wear what they want. Neither one has any sort of desire to wear pants, I honestly don't blame them.
They have been a bit tired at night- getting used to being gone most of the day. Kindergarten is still half day here, in some of the public schools they have the option of doing a full day. I'm not a proponent of all day kindergarten- I may be in a small minority on this point. So I am glad Matthew is only going in the morning.
Andrew has been slightly disappointed that he hasn't been able to go to school. He will be starting a preschool after Labor Day which a lady in our church does in her home. Matthew went to Miss Angie's and we think the world of her. So Andrew is very much looking forward to going. When we went to get the other two folders for school he was insistant that he needed one for his school too.
