It's beginning to look a lot like School Again :) - along with the Olympics :)

Well today was the first day of school for us.  E started 3rd grade, P started 2nd grade and G started kindergarten.  So unreal!!! These first few weeks are going to be trial and error on my part until we can figure out what works.  Today went okay but already saw how some things are going to have to change in order to be the most productive we can.
