Back To School!

I saw a deal for a half-off popcorn maker - just $15. Seemed like a good deal since the girls have been enjoying microwaved popcorn lately.

You put butter in the top measuring cup bit, and it melts from the heat.

Violet was quite excited about our new toy, and has made several rounds already.
 

This week, we've also attended Back To School nights at both of the girls' schools. Here, Stace worked up all his bravery to get close to the science teacher's pet boa constrictor, Taz.

And here is Violet's name poem, up on the wall in her English class. With five or six different groups of kids meeting in each class, it was a nice surprise to see her work up on the wall.

While in Cora's Advanced Placement World History classroom, I thought I'd helpfully photograph the assignment whiteboard to text her, in case she'd forgotten to do her reading.

The girls seem to be in some good classes, with good teachers. It was fabulous going around all the classes for the first time since 2019.
