Back to School

And just like that - summer was over and Violet started 8th grade, and Cora began her junior year.

Violet didn't love school last year, especially her first semester, but she said she was ready to get back to a routine. She had quite a boring summer, so it was nice to have her OK with going back to school. 

She's still taking yearbook, and her friend Leah is now in the class with her. She has a few of the same teachers Cora had, too.


Cora started her first day at the new high school, and it went well enough. She's not a super social kid, especially with people her own age, but things went OK. New campus, all new teachers (except for Jarod!) and a couple of thousand new faces. She's taking algebra II/trig, English 11, U.S. History, ceramics, theater and stagecraft.

The traffic around her new school is atrocious - the high school is directly across the street from the area's junior high, and though the starting/ending times are staggered, it's still one main road in and out for them. Ugh, I miss the traffic patterns at her old school, that's for sure. We'll have to figure out a system.
 
Seb also had his first day - of sitting in this box.

I turned around and caught him in the playroom, surrounded by new school supplies, squeezing himself into the box for Violet's new tall black boots. 

This was Violet after her registration day last week, with her new books and her look of "Why a photo, Mom?!"

And I wish I'd taken a photo of Cora at her new school on registration day, but I forgot.
