Alex’s first day back to school was yesterday. She had a regular, full day complete with basketball practice shortly afterwards.

The lame Mom that I was, I forgot to snap a photo of her before school, so here she is afterwards, not all too pleased at having her photo taken, especially with her sister in it:

However, I did get one with a…what’s that called again? Oh! Right! with a smile!

She said her day went well. There are a few exceptions, however. First, her locker location is four down from her locker last year. AND, it is in the hall with all the sixth graders! (Oh! The Horror!!!) There was a locker shortage though, so at least she got her own locker, right?! Secondly, since they added the sixth graders to the school, they made the lunches be just one grade level, so now instead of two grades spread over three lunches…well, it’s just packed.

Basketball practice started yesterday too. Oh my, is she sore today.

And, why, yes! She did wear long pants AND a sweat jacket to school all day in 90 degree heat (our schools are not air conditioned!)!!!
