Wednesday was the first day of school for the older two boys. They both had really good days and enjoy their teachers. Jbird was wiped out in the afternoon - full on tantrums. This all day stuff will take some getting use to for him. I have been very surprised that he wants me hanging around on the playground and right outside his classroom when the bell rings in the afternoon. I can do that. Their school is two buildings, separated by a 'state highway'. So, B loves the fact that he crosses the street (where the cross guard is) and heads to Jbird's school at the end of the day.

Recent forest fires are causing havoc. Yesterday the kids did not go outside to play because of the air quality. Soccer practice was cancelled. I think there are 3 or 4 within a 30 mile radius of us. This is when we all start wishing for a little mountain snow! Quiet holiday weekend. Nothing planned at this point. JR's birthday is Sunday!
