Fourth Grade

I planned on getting back to posting more regularly, but that hasn't quite happened yet so I'm just getting our first day of school posting on here. The kids started fourth grade this year which is still hard for me to believe! They turned ten right before school started...their first double digit birthday and I about went into depression so fourth grade and changing classes was another big step for me and them both, but so far so good! Here they are on their first day of school. They wore their Mal's Pals shirt that we have been selling as a fundraiser for Mallory. Gracen kept blinking and that makes her so mad! :) I always take a full body pic so I can see later how big they have gotten and this is the only one that turned out okay.

Here they are in their favorite pose..hugged up!

They have two teachers this year, Mrs. Tolleson and Mrs. Cowart. Mrs. T is their homeroom teacher and she has them in the mornings then over to Mrs. C for Science and Math and then back to Mrs. T for the remainder of the day. The first day, Mrs. T told Carson she was going to print him a t-shirt with a "?" on it! LOL! Gracen said he kept talking and I asked who he was talking to and she said, "Mrs. Tolleson!" I said, "What?" She said, "Mom, he is constantly asking her questions and blurting out the answers. Finally he raised his hand because she kept telling him he had to raise his hand but he still blurted out the answer and she said Carson, that is not going to work either!" That's my Carson!

Now we are two and a half weeks into school and so far....no problems for talking...he's following the rules! I guess she got her bluff in on that first day of school! BUT, we have lots of days to come before the last day! :)
