Now that I have this working.......

This is Chase and Olivia on their first day of school. Chase is in the fifth grade and "hates" school. Tonight, I was talking about organizing his day, so that he can get everything accomplished. I told him middle school will be a lot harder, with a ton more homework. "What?", he said. "All I want to do is play sports". So he has decided to become a famous athlete for his profession! As long as he takes care of his mama!

Olivia is in the first grade this year. She wasn't really ready for the all day gig. I think she still thought that she would come home 1/2 way through. She falls into her bed every night and is asleep in seconds. She came home sad today because she had a terrible day. When asked why it was so bad, she responded.... "The teacher told me not to touch the window, in front of the whole class and I was so embarrassed". She doesn't take to public discipline well. But she is loving her teacher, despite the tough upper hand.
