Wednesday, August 12 marked the first day of the 2009-2010 school year for the Mindless Mommy kids. On Tuesday night, Alexander spiked a 103+ degree fever which topped out at 105.1 on Wednesday morning. Alex slept while I prepared Ava for her first day of Kindergarten. I had to get Alexander to the doctor so we all drove Ava to her school. I walked Ava in and gave her hugs and kisses while Dave waited with Alex (Dave took his company truck to the school). I then bailed on Ava so I could get Alex to the doctor but Dave went back in and stayed with Ava until she went into the classroom.
Here is a picture of Ava as she very enthusiastically posed before school. It is increasingly difficult to get a picture of Ava not posing.
While Ava was having fun at Kindergarten, Alex was spending his 1st day of the school year in a wheelchair at the doctor’s office. He was too weak to walk and I tweaked my back the week prior so I couldn’t carry him.
Finally, his fever waned a bit and I sent him to school on Friday. Here he is before *his* 1st day of 3rd grade.
We’re trying something new this year, waste free school lunches. Head on over to Raising Them Green to hear about how our first week with waste free lunches went.
