This afternoon, Bill and Daniel went to the Rays game. We only have tickets for a couple more games for this regular season. We are trying to get the post season tickets, too, but man, they are not cheap. I think we will get them anyway. We have waited so long for this!
We are going to try this again. Here is Daniel all ready for his first day of middle school. He is SO ready for this. He is SO excited. Not surprisingly, his tummy was a little upset this morning, but we didn't dwell on it and I am sure he will be just fine.
Here is Sarah on her first day of the last year of middle school. I think that is what she told me! She is excited. More excited to see her friends and catch up than the actual school part. We found her schedule on the Parent Connect site yesterday, so even though she doesn't know the order of her classes, she knows who her teachers are going to be.
Here I snuck a photo of the kids walking to the bus stop! I had told them that I would refrain from embarrassing them at the bus stop with the camera. I couldn't resist this and Daniel caught me! He was trying to hide!
After the bus left from the neighborhood across the street, the kids let me pop this photo. That's because there were no other kids around yet. LOL!
I'm going to be dead for this one if they actually saw me take it! I guess they can just blame their mom for being a dork!
Today is the first day of school. Thank goodness! Daniel has been driving us nuts this past week. We have purchased school supplies, new clothes, new shoes. Daniel had his 6th grade orientation last week and last night we went to the middle school to pick up his schedule. We are pleased about his teachers! We bought the locks, funded the lunch accounts and our musical instruments are ready to go.
Here they are. The Rock Band! Daniel has been saving his money for a long time. He has wanted Rock Band for Wii, but he didn't quite have enough money all by himself. He talked Sarah into making a contribution to the new game, too. He went online and figured out what it cost at Sam's Club with tax. Then when Bill and I went to check on it, he didn't realize that the price was for home delivery NOT in the store price. The in store price was $20 more and they didn't have that much extra money. Daniel was so disappointed. I suggested looking on Craig's List to see if someone might be selling one. Not only did we find a couple for sale, one was only about 3 miles from us. It was $62 less than buying it in the store. The kids got it in less than an hour for less money than they had expected. The person selling it had used it once or twice so it is in perfect condition. They have been banging on drums and singing ever since!
