fdos-2011
I can't really believe it, but school started yesterday for the 4 big kids.
Hootis - 9th grade
(Technically a Freshman, but she's still at the Middle School. Utah is weird.)
~
Brick - 3rd, Proto- 5th, Rooney -6th
(Nice FDOS shirts. Remember I gave up on this issue a few years ago?)
Off to the bus stop.
Houdini -1st grade - Started today.
"Da bus stop is over dere!"
My full time friend for the next 9 months.
We had our "Back to School Banquet" last night.
We had a nice dinner in the backyard and talked about the new school year.
We reviewed our little BtSB cards that identify successful school strategies.
They are as follows:
Have courage.
Be Confident.
Remember who you are.
"Blogger" family forever.
Be a friend to get a friend.
Smile.
Return with Honor.
Listen and Obey.
Be brave.
You can do it!
Family first.
Prayer power.
It's fun to hear the kids thoughts on these topics. It's a great way to start the new school year.
The only bummer of the evening? I broke one of our fancy goblets that we got years ago for our wedding. We use them for fancy occasions like the BtSB. Waah.
Also, I made Cinnamon Rolls for a treat. Turns out "yeast" is an essential ingredient! When you forget to add it, you make Cinnamon Bricks. Ick.
I need to go back to Baking School.

I think "Brick" is more appropriately named "Tall drink of water" or "Gaining on his brothers quickly"
Do houdini's shoes ever fall off?
Where are your BtSB pictures??? eh? Don't leave me hangin.
Why can't I be on the ball and be awesome like you. I may steal all those topics and your whole idea if I ever get on the ball.
