School Days!

We are getting ready to start our fourth week at Burton! Goodness, where does the time go? Hannah is enjoying fifth grade a lot, and I'm really glad all her little girlfriends are getting along fairly well. Hopefully that will continue. We're lucky she's not interested in generating drama that young girls and their "social cliques" do sometimes.

Homework sessions can still be a bit traumatic on occasion--it just seems like it never ends! I know that when she gets home, she's very ready to switch from "school" mode to "play" mode, which I completely understand. She is such a wiggleworm, too, and after sitting still for most of the day, she has lots of wiggles to get out! I think there's a lot more order in this year's classroom, though, and she's able to hear the instructions for her lessons and that has helped ease some of the pressure as well!

Funny Hannah story: in the usual "What I did this summer" essay, Hannah wrote about going to see her Grandma Williams in California. At the end, she was TRYING to say that she and daddy caught the shuttle to the airport to fly back to mommy, but got a little confused and wrote that they "caught the space shuttle back to the airport..." ha! John and I had a great chuckle over that one. We joked with Hannah that we were very impressed! She just giggled. :)

Well, that's an update on our Hannah girl (and us). This Labor Day we haven't done anything too terribly exciting. Last week was kind of a long week and we've been in a mostly vegetative state since Friday.

I'll try to post again a little sooner--can't believe it's been six weeks since my last post!

All for now,

Tricia
