Back to School!!!

Oh happy day!! Today was the first day of Joy School!! The girls have been sooo excited and on the count down. This morning, they woke and were very ready to go!!! They had to wear skirts... since that is all I can get Beene to wear these days, and Julles just likes to do everything like her sister!!! They also got to take something for show and tell. Beenie took her "minnie's" (her minnie mouse collection) and Julles took her beenie baby giraffe. She is going to tell them about seeing the giraffe's at the zoo, and that they were stinky!!!

They are going to be gone three days a week, for three hours!!! I don't teach until november/december. I don't know what I am going to do with myself!! Maybe my house will become immaculate!! Who knows.... but here are some fun pics of the first day at Carrie Kirk's home.

My two little beauties in thier "mermaid" poses... this was done by Beene's request!


Julles on her very 1st day of school!!! Don't you just love her hair???


Beene and her minnie purse, that has her other minnie mouse inside.


Our Joy School Class of 2008, 1st day of school at Caleb's house : (l-r) Caleb, Cara (caleb's sister), Abby, Julles, Jillian, Ellie, and Isaac.


Carrie was talking to them about who was going to have what job for the day... that is the favorite part of the morning. They have different jobs like, the weather, calendar, flag (they are learning the pledge of allegence this year), teacher's helper, snack helper, and prayer. They were all very excited to start this fun year of school.

I am sure that there will be many more pictures posted in the following months. We have lots of fun days planned. The first unit this year is Joy of The Body. Next week, they are going to Carrie's mom's farm in Idaho, and talking about good foods for your body. They get to pick their own veggies for lunch, and ride a horse if they'd like. We also have some great classes on Good Touch/Bad Touch coming in the next few weeks. In October, we are having Joy of the Earth, and they get to do some way fun field trips for that as well!!

How fun for them to be able to go to Joy School together. I am convinced that Beene and Cadence are best friends that just haven't met yet. Having to wear skirts everyday, mermaid poses, the list goes on and on!
