Friday was open house at the girls' school. They're going back for a second year at Calvary Christian School in Naperville. The big change this year is they'll be bringing their little sister along for the ride. Nora will have one year of pre-school before we try to sneak her into Kindergarten. She was born 15 days too late to get in next year. For the first time since she was born, they will all be at the same place during the day.
Today, they got to go in and meet their new teachers, check out their new classrooms, and see some of their classmates from last year. Grace and Maggie both played their customary shy roles and didn't say too much to their new teachers. Their old teachers had spoken to their new teachers, and both had really good things to say about Maggie and Grace. If there were bad things to say, I'm sure they wouldn't have told us, but my children do no wrong, so I'll just keep on believin' there was nothing bad to say.
We're also signing them up for piano lessons through school. They can each get one lesson per week, after school, during the after-care program, for $50/month. For each one to get a weekly lesson without having to haul them over to someone's house was quite a bargain.
School starts on Monday. Their uniforms are laid out and their backpacks are loaded with new school supplies. They're at home with mama this weekend enjoying their last few days of summer vacation before starting another great year of school.

Opps...I commented on the wrong post. Sorry about that...
Our schools just started the uniforn thing this year. We had some adjustment issues at first, but overall, we like it now.
And the guitar lessons...that's very cool! I wish we had more musical instrustion in the elementary school.
