Our first day of the 2012-2013 school year went a little something like this:

 

For breakfast I got the kids a $1 McMuffin to make it special.  It worked.

We started promptly at 9am.

We sang our hymn of the week "Love at Home".  Ok some of us didn't sing.

Prayer and scripture of the week. 1 Nephi 3:7.

Then we danced around to some fun music to get our blood flowing.

Someone didn't want to dance but he soon joined in....

The kids all wrote in their journals about their summer....

Some cried because summer is over.

Noah had a morning nap.

All kids did their math.

All kids did their english or phonics.

Sasha played the piano.

We ate lunch and tried to have recess but some people fought so

recess got cut short.

We decided to start our year studying about mummies. (Tuesday is the day we

study history).

We watched some cool videos about mummies.

Then Audrey bit Addie on the back.

So, Audrey went down for a nap.

Noah was ready for his afternoon nap by then, as well.

We had quiet reading time until 3:15.

The End.

 

Today was not perfect by any means but we did good things.  The first day back is always the hardest.  Tomorrow will be better.  Especially if nobody cries, nobody bites and if I can find some chocolate to sneak off and devour.  :)
