First Days!

Arden started kindergarten!  She was super excited.  She insisted on riding the bus the first day, too.  She has been waiting and waiting to ride the bus for years.  :)

I asked her what her favorite part of her first day was and she said "coming home."  After a few days I realized it wasn't because she didn't like school; she just loved riding the bus.  Her next favorite part was recess, of course.

She's done well these past few weeks.  Her teacher says she is well behaved in class.  Arden comes home excited to tell me about all of the things that she learned and the things that her friends have said.  It's always funny to hear the conversations of multiple five year olds.

this was Arden at the end of the first day.  She was TIRED.

Arden thrives on routine, so kindergarten has been an easy and fun adjustment for her so far.

Halle's first day of school was almost two weeks later.  We held off on her homeschool because we were settling into the house and Brian was on vacation.  Her first day started with a dissection class at the Houston Museum of Natural Science.  She will have a class once a month at the museum.  The bottom floor of the museum has about 150 classrooms, something I did not know!  In her first class of the year she dissected squid! 

 

Jack and Brian toured the museum while Halle had her class

The best part of Halle's museum day was Guy's Meat Market!  We had to make a stop there for the best burgers in Houston.  Brian first discovered this place when he worked in construction at Ben Taub Hospital.  Since we were in the vicinity and had extra time, we HAD to get a burger.  O M G, the best burgers ever!

This is Halle on her first day of hitting the books.  All comfortable on her bedroom floor in loungewear.  

Lastly, a picture of the girls and what they do at the end of the school day.  We LOVE our new pool!
