"Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing. " -Helen Keller

Belated Back to School

Not that my children were late in going back to school but I'm late in getting the post up because of the chaos of Thursday night and my exhaustion on Friday. All three of the boys had a wonderful day on Thursday. Marty likes all his teachers but he seems to particularly like his creative writing teacher. He really likes the creative writing teacher's sense of humor.  Hehehe, the man has a wooden battle ax (black blade, green handle) that he uses for the bathroom pass. He really knows how to appeal to the teenage sense of humor. Joey has also gone from moaning about school to truly enjoying it. He likes his teacher and has his best friend in his class. We don't know who Gabe's teacher is going to be yet. His school does a staggered start for the kindergarteners. They divide all the new kindergartners into 5 groups and each group comes one of the first 5 days. That lets all the kindergarten teachers evaluate the abilities of all the kids. They then divide them into class making sure the classes are balanced as far as their abilities are concerned. We will get to go meet Gabe's teacher on Wednesday.

Of course, I subjected all three kids to first day of school pics...
How did my boys get to be so grown up looking and so handsome?

Such big changes in school ages for you all at once. I do not like this growing up business one bit.

I'm really not ready to have a high school student.
Great pics for back to school. I can't believe how much has gone on in their first week at school.

It's kind of crazy how eventful it's been already. Maybe this means the rest of the year will be quiet?
I bet you're glad for a weekend after such a week full of activity! Love the pics.

Thanks for checking the pics out Lori.
They look great! So grown up...

That's interesting about how they divide up the kindergarten classes. Things I guess I'll be learning in a few years.

I really, really like this comment interface, I'm just trying to figure a couple of things out. Like how do you get blogger to show that you have comments now that the comments aren't processed thru blogger (know what I mean?)

I don't think you it will show the comments on the dashboard but it shows here on the blog.

Love the pics...they sure look very grown up! And Marty is so you!

Gabe looks the happiest out of the three on having his picture taken....can still see that patch on the head.

I hope they have a lot of fun in school.

Marty really is me but I think it's highly unfair he got height but I didn't.

They had a great first few days.
They are all growing up so fast!!!

How did I get old enough to have kids that big?!?!?!
I love the back to school pics no matter what age! Hope your boys have a terrific year!
