Back to School


Well, the boys started school yesterday. Seth was not looking forward to going back to school. I tried to convince him that 1st grade would be much better than Kindergarten but I don't think he bought it. He had a good day though and although his class this year is twice the size it was last year I think he'll enjoy it. Elijah on the other hand was ready to get back to school. He was sad that he had to cut his hair that he had spent months growing though. Stupid dress code. I am thankful the kids are able to go a Christian school but I really don't see why it is necessary to dictate haircuts too. I'm not going to get into that so I'll just leave it alone.

As for me I go back tonight. I'm not really looking forward to it though. I'm still not used to semesters instead of quarters & the weeks just seem to drag on forever.

I decided to teach myself German again. I took German in high school and in college but I have forgotten most of it. I really love the language and want to be able to speak it fluently. I also want to try and expose Kate to more of it while I am still home with her. Should be quite a feat as I am not sure when I will have time to really get into it.

Come back for the debut of my new Linley Bags!

My Son's beautiful hair!

My boys go to a Christian school. Which I am so thankful for. And even more thankful that state vouchers pay for their tuition. Otherwise I would be home schooling which I don't want to do. We live in the inner city & there is NO WAY I would EVER send my kids to school in our school district. Anyway, the bad thing about the school they go to is the dress code. Not the dress code itself (they have uniforms) But the hair dress code.




My oldest son was blessed with his mother's thick curly hair. He loves to grow it out in the summer (thanks to his heavy metal dad). And I love his long curly locks! But for school, boys can't have their hair touch their collar, at least part of ears must be showing & it can't be in their eyes. Which means my son's hair has to go :( Come on. Does it really matter how long their hair is? It's not like they are less of a Christian b/c they have long hair. Aargh. I could go on. But instead I'll share with you my son's beautiful hair, before & after.

Today was the first day of school so here he is ready for 1st gr with his hair cut short. And might I add it is looking kinda goofy.
