Well -- It happened. Brielle started Middle School and is doing really well! She handled the beginning of school much better than I did (I was a complete mess). School has been in session for roughly a month now and Brielle is working hard to get a handle on the homework load (holy hell - there's a lot), has finally figured out her schedule and she seems to be back on a routine. Jumping back several weeks, here are a few pics from the first days of school.
I quickly learned that decorating your locker was a very big deal. Did you know they make carpet for lockers? Ya, neither did I. I'd be very interested to know if her locker is still this clean? I highly doubt it. She did not inherit her mother's organization gene...
First day of school -- waiting for the bus -- most beautiful smile I've ever seen.
We made a trip to the doctors office the very next week, only to find out that her arm still needed to be in cast. Thank goodness he gave her a brace she could take on and off rather than a new cast. Wrapping her cast in Saran Wrap just to shower was becoming obnoxious and the smell -- oh the smell -- that cast had to go. Goodbye blue sparkle cast! Hello removable, washable, non-smelly cast.
Also that weekend was the 2nd annual Bunc-Ho's Mud Run at the American West Heritage Center. It wasn't just for us, obviously. Just the second time we'd participated.
Two things I learned this year...
- No matter how much duct tape you use to secure your shoes to your feet, it won't.
- Second, don't choose such a lop-sided tube. You'll immediately fall off, causing yourself to go down the water slide on the hard ground, resulting in you picking up way to much speed which will end with you barreling at high speeds into the hay bales at the bottom. And a bruised tail bone.
