The first day of school seemed to go okay. A couple technical difficulties, but nothing major (for example I tried to take pictures of them on their first day back, but several came out blurry, and I was too much in a hurry to check them at the time). Neither child got tallies, so that's good, and no homework on the first day, which is always a plus. But I predict we won't make it through the week without homework.
The girls report they had an excellent time on their first day. Shelby is a little miffed because she can't invite her entire class to her birthday party. We handed out invitations this morning for her party which is in a week and a half, but prior to doing so, while still in the car, I verified with Shelby her list of invitees. Yet after handing them out, the kids that didn't get one practically rushed me asking if they could have one too, leaving me with the dreaded "sorry, we can't invite everyone" response. Of course, when I picked the girls up from school, Shelby had all kinds of ideas about changing her invitee list, which in the end would have resulted in bringing the whole class along. After a little discussion about being at least somewhat grateful when parents are spending $125 (minimum) on a birthday party, I think (no, I hope) that Shelby is kosher with the situation.
The birthday party part of raising gets never gets easier, I must say. Be advised oh parents to be.
