Yesterday was Josef's Middle School's "open house". It started at sharp 1:30 but when we got there we saw some of our neighbors with their kids already leaving the parking lot. We're not late and though we got there on time, parking space was just so impossible to our vistas hahaha. Daddy dearest followed the direction of traffic and when I spotted the grassy part beside the school's front lawn with just one vehicle parked on it, I told him to get that spot. The venue of the said event was packed to the ceiling. Imagine all the 6th graders from three different grade schools and you can picture how crowded it was. Eight hundred "Jr High" kids to be exact! Yup, Josef is now a "Jr High" student. After the event my husband took the kids to CEC. He thought that a new school year finally gets here and kids need one more last blast of fun hahaha. What a sweet dad indeed! We had Josef's list with us from his homeroom teacher, therefore, we went ahead and got them while we're out of town. We found almost every item he's required to have except for one. Josef is very picky when it comes to his stuff and we can't seem to find his "type" of binder. And then my husband said......"why don't we go to STAPLES and check the store out". We did! And there Josef satisfied his taste.

Today, all the schools in our county started their 1st day of class. Kids are both excited. Moms and dads too hahaha. My dear Dale set the alarm clock for 6:30, of course I am already up before then. He helped me attending to the kids. Jann told us last night before heading to her bed that she don't want to be dropped to school but ride the school bus instead. We always took them to school on the very 1st day as a routine but since Josef will be attending Middle school now, she thinks that she's a big girl as well. So, Jann was picked by the school bus while daddy dearest drove Josef to Jr High. They both rode the bus coming home. No homework yet BUT tons of updates hahaha. Boy, I was confused whom to listen first! Jann got tons of stories to tell and so are her bro. In the end, both news were heard hahaha. Josef just need some money for his PE locker, classroom locker, and for his Science club. It runs some money nowadays to have kids in public school. During my husband's school days everything is free and provided to you. Not anymore. Thanks for reading and have one terrific Thursday to all !!! I haven't upload our CEC fotos yet. I'll just link it up to Jann's school knapsack when I get done with it.

nice and very cute backpack you have here for janna. good to hear that both kids are finally back to school.

It looks like Jann has a good taste too. Her backpack is pretty. Seems like the busy days are here again. I will be back to peek your CEC pix later....

Dear Jeth, thanks for your visit and your comments. You have lots of good advice and have a good head on your shoulders. I like the shopping you all have been doing as well. We have been doing the same here with my girls especially now "teens". Alyssa just turned 13 a few days ago but Grace is influenced by her love of brand names and shopping. We spent literally thousands on their last few sprees. Lucky them they have a grandma who spoils them too. I'm frantically studying this weekend so will check out your pictures after Monday. I always enjoy my visits in here because they give me a nice break from my academic searches on the internet. haha! All this research takes lots of time. I have a paper due this Friday as well for my Legal Ethical class. I hope when you start your classes you will blog once in a while!! Dont disappear like you do each time school starts okay?? Give us updates. Its not that time consuming, if time doesnt allow, just don't put so many pictures. haha! You see me, I havent had time to put picutres in a long time but I still post once in a while. Anyway, my kids start school in a little over a week and thats when I have a break. So our vacations don't match so we have no real vacation this year. My kids are pouting because this is the first time we arent going somewhere "big". Anyway, I will be back to visit after Monday....

Meeting the teachers season is back hehe and also studying time. I know making good grades isn't a problem to your kids because of their intelligence. By the way, I've been very busy for the past months and could hardly practice what I used to do. I'd love to see all the pix you have posted in the album and that's where I'm heading after here.

Hello girlfriend! I can't believe your handsome son is already a Jr High. Wow, isn't that great he's moving up? He'll be driving in some more years and you better get him the nice wheel to maneuver .

I am hoping you enjoyed the weekend and welcome the great week with lots of fun....
