First Day of School!

ALREADY!!!! August 6th - who starts *that* early???? Well, apparently we do! Caitlin is a freshman this year and Philip is in 7th grade. They both ended up with new backpacks this year (thus the photos!). Caitlin saw hers, fell in love and spent her hard earned money, while Philip ended up with the free backpack from Staples (yes, how cool is that???). Did you notice Caitlin's contacts as well? It was something she did this summer. So far so good.

The first couple of weeks seem to have gone pretty smoothly - except for my pocketbook (graphing calculators, dance fees, and the list goes on!!!). Philip even brought home the grade printout showing he is getting 100% in math yesterday. I know - it's only been 2 weeks - but I have lots of hope!
