First 1/2 week of school

The girls had their first half week in school. It started on Wednesday.

Shannon came home the first day, burst into tears and said, "I hate it here! I want to go home!" After she calmed down a little later she started to tell me about some cute boys in her classes, so it can't be all bad right?! She went over and Grandma gave her warm cookies and milk. (yeah for grandmas!!) The next day was a little better and the next was a bit better so I am hoping that this week will be a bit better each day. She has 2 AP classes and a nursing class which are really going to keep her busy. She is in yearbook and says the teacher is great and alot of fun. She has to take early morning seminary since she is a transfer student to make sure she has enough credits to graduate. (She was so looking forward to those half days seniors get in AZ...) Oh well.

Michelle's first day was ok except she couldn't get her locker opened. It took her till the third day to be able to do it herself. I don't think that she really minded though because a "cute" boy in our ward helped her open it several times. (hm.... maybe she just doesn't WANT to open it herself?) She has a few friends that seem like they will be good. A few of them play basket ball. She is hoping to try out for it.

Both Shan and Michelle went to the football game on Friday night. They were surprised at how much school spirit there is here. They said that people actually listen to the cheerleaders and yell and such. Too bad they lost!

Rachel's first day was good and bad because she couldn't get her locker open the last part of the day AND she missed her transfer bus to get home. They bus all the kids from High school and Middle school to the Jr high school and then they get on their bus that takes them home. She got to the Jr high ok but she didn't know where her bus was so she told someone she couldn't find her bus and they radioed to her bus, it had already left so it stopped and another bus that was going that way took her to her bus. She was a little embarrassed and flustered but other than that it was good. She has a couple of girls that she has become friends with. She has had to wear her boot because being on her foot too long makes it hurt more.

Jenna LOVED her first days. She has lots of friends and loves her teacher. The other day she came running in the house needing a baggie to put a frog in that they were trying to catch at the bus stop. Crazy nut! She has really been missing Brad the last two days. She even cried yesterday for him. I had a hard time not crying too!

The weather her has been so amazing!! We actually have a fall now! Haven't experienced that in 22 years! (I know, I know.... we will be freezing in a month or so...)
