Well...it's that time of year...FINALLY! No matter how much fun you can have in one summer, School Registration always come sooner than later!
Off we went...as a family at that...to West Middle School with the envelope with the plethora of paperwork (can't anything be done on-line?) to get Emily all set for school, which starts next week. First we wait in line for the $2 Planner, not required, but you get points off in certain classes if you don't use the "not required" planner. Then onto the Class Schedule with locker combination. Then onto Pictures, pull the paperwork & check out for that one. Then onto Yearbook Sales, pull the paperwork & check out for that one. Then Emily wanted a school hoodie this year, so get in that line & pull the paperwork & check out for that one. Then PTA, then Music Boosters....finally it was time to move out of the cafeteria & get 2 out of 4 books....hadn't figured that one out yet, then off to find the locker. Upon arrival, Emily opens it up & we start unloading the backpack we brought with all the locker paraphernalia that is required as the 6"wide x 9"depth locker lacks space for any storage, so you have to create your own. Fortunately, Emily passes on the locker shelving stand, which her BFF must have as she is not tall enough to reach the only shelf to store books. We jury-rigged her binder thingy she carries to class into the locker (Emily has the angle all figured out to get it to fit), quickly shut the locker so nothing falls out, then wait for Emily while she and her BFF wander off to make sure she knows where to go next week.
So a couple hours later, I ask her if she remembers her locker combination....of course not! Where did we put that thing...hopefully not in the binder thingy.
Just wait until you see how long Emily's hair is in her pictures...comparing it to last years and it must have grown another 4-6" over the year.
Tomorrow is Andrew's turn....

But for the memories it's over for me. At least the paperwork part. I'm just the cash cow now. But I DO still check on Jon's university crap behind his back. At least he's given me access to everything. You'll find out that once they're 18 it's not Mommy and Daddy's business anymore.

Both are back to school as of last Monday & today Luke leaves at noon for a soccer tournament. Good thing he's not too bogged down yet with school work (I think). There is a thing here called Powerschool where you can check on your child's progress at anytime (current only if the teachers stay on top of it - 50%)...perhaps I'll give it a go this year.
