First day of school!

We usually like to start each new school year the day after Labor Day...and that's today! Some people ask how we could ever home school ALL of those kids, but since only five out of us eleven are actually doing "constructive" schoolwork this year [the most we've ever had at one time!], it's really not as difficult as some imagine. =]

Samuel is starting 7th grade this year, so he has an impressive stack of school books. =] Seth is in the 3rd grade and Silas is in 1st...neither of them are very thrilled about ending their summer vacation, ha!, but hopefully it'll be easier for them once we've developed a good school-day routine... Savannah and Sophia were soooo excited to begin kindergarten today! And Shiloh colors pictures, listens to stories, builds towers with the math blocks, and is very good at distracting the rest of the kiddos!! =]

This week has been pretty chilly...only about 60-65 degrees. So it's beginning to feel like Autumn. Yay! That's my favorite time of the year and I don't think the season ever lasts long enough! Time to pull out the sweaters and boots, light some apple-scented candles, and sip on pumpkin spice lattes! =]
