It's that time of year again. That time when here in Mesa, AZ it's still REALLY HOT and we should be spending every day in the pool. Somehow, Mesa Public Schools think they need to start the first day of school in 115 degree heat. They think it's time to try to get those kids brains moving when all the kids really want is cold water and a pool. Really. Why is the first day of school August 10th? We don't understand. But it's also that time of year when the mommies around here are ready for a schedule, we are ready for some time to get some tasks done during the day. And so it begins. The First Day of School! I actually love the first day of school. It's exciting. This year we have 2 going to school all day. All day! And I'm left at home with one little Adam who is content with playing trains all day long. I have so many plans!

Megan is a Kindergartner with Mrs. Burton as a teacher.
Aunt Kaley, with a little pixie dust help from grandma and grandpa, placed good luck notes on the side walk for the kids on the way to school (you can see a few of them in Katelyn's picture). They loved the notes! What a great way to start the day!
