Technical Difficulties

I had a post all set to go for today, with pics of Xander's first day of school, but Blogger seems to be having technical difficulties and won't post any of my pics. I'll try again tomorrow!

Gearing Up for School

Well, it's almost time for Xander to get on the school bus and spend another year hating school. LOL! I keep trying to remind him of the fun things about school, and how this year they're supposed to be hatching chicken eggs in second grade. But the only thing he can get excited about are his supplies. He has a new, totally cool and pocket-rific backpack. Yesterday, Joe picked up his school supplies from the school. (It's a new program they started, where a company fills the boxes with supplies specific to each grade level. We paid in June, they arrived this week.)

Xander was very excited to see what was in his box, which actually wasn't very much. Lots of two pocket folders, pre-sharpened pencils, a composition notebook, some erasers and glue sticks, and a pack of colored pencils.

There was also a sheet of labels with Xander's name and the school address on them. Joe labeled everything except the individual pencils and the erasers. Xander was wondering why there weren't any crayons. I told him maybe they don't use crayons in second grade.

So now everything is in the box, waiting for the first day of school. And Xander keeps finding new things he "hates" about school. This is going to be a long weekend, LOL!
