Back To School

Kids went back to school last week. No tardy slips yet!!! :) Rae has Mrs. Christian and is in 4th grade. I totally remember 4th grade...my teacher was Mrs. Oetken...she had blonde hair like Dolly Parton, wore thick blue eyeshadow, and a gold ankle bracelet underneath her panty hose. Mrs. Oetken's outfits were always very "matchy matchy" and we always played this flash card math game.

Check out her new chucks...that's what she wanted for shoes this year...a pair of chucks and some wallabies...can you say 70's???
John-Rob doesn't care what kind of shoes he gets...as long as he can test them out @ the store by making sure he can run REALLY fast in them, he's fine with whatever I pick. Coincidentally his foot is the same size as Rae's...and there's a 3 year age difference!
John-Rob started Kindergarten this year...his teachers are Mrs. Harty & Mrs. West, I think he's going to have a wonderful year! I remember my Kindergarten teacher too...Mrs. Connie LaFoy, funny that I actually got to see her again a few years ago when I was visiting Grandpa in Arizona...she is an Iowa snowbird. :)
Yesterday was the first day I had to drop John-Robert off and watch him walk in with Emma-Rae instead of walking him in myself, now THAT was hard! That and the fact that John-Robert wanted $1.00 today for cookies instead of .50 so he could buy a cookie for his "girlfriend" too...I'm NOT ready for "girlfriends."
