School Schedules

Luke played in a tournament last weekend with some of the best skaters in the state for his age group

They had a "Border Battle" at school because the Vikings play the Packers tomorrow.  Finn wore purple to support the Vikings. He said he could't smile because this is what the pros look like

And he wanted a picture from the back

We survived the first week and a half of school.  We are slowly getting into a routine.  The early middle school bus isn't my favorite, but we are all going to bed early!  Luke and Liam get on the bus at 7:25 am which isn't terrible considering the high school kids get on the bus at 6:30 am, but I am hoping that changes by the time we are in high school.  Regardless, it makes for an early morning to be dressed, fed, and out the door by 7:20 am.

Luke and Liam are enjoying middle school so far.  They have a lot more responsibilities with keeping up with their stuff, changing classes, doing assignments on their own, etc...The classes are much bigger and they are with a few friends, but have also met several new kids.

Aiden and Finn leave an hour later for elementary school and get home a bit later in the afternoons.  They are both enjoying their classes so far.  Aiden has the same teacher from third grade!  She moved up a grade and we were given the option to stay with her and Aiden decided he wanted to stay because he really enjoyed her last year.  Finn's teacher is also a neighbor or ours and he is really enjoying her class.  He knows two other boys, but has met some new friends and was even invited to a birthday party in a few weeks.

Things will pick up once hockey begins in a few weeks.  Luke and Liam will start tryouts at the end of the month and are currently doing some camps to get ready for tryouts.  Aiden will begin camps and then tryouts in October.  He is excited to play his first year of travel hockey as a Squirt.  Finn will begin House level hockey in early November and can't wait for his brothers to watch one of HIS games!
