Well - this is the contents of our 1 room school house this year... grades 9, 7, 5, 3, 1... & 2 "pre's"
i love this picture because you can see his lip is still pressed down from sophie who just bounced out of his mouth... the boy has himself a fine set of teeth (as evidenced by the punctured skin some of the rest of us are sporting).
Sunshine boy. Moments before this picture was taken, he was laying on the ground sobbing - suddenly he stood up, "i better." & climbed up on the couch for his picture. i love 2.
Mollen. i thought she'd be a real handful to add full time to our school - but the thing i never considered is: this chicky is *really really* smart. She does her work in around 2 hours/day & she's already over 1/4 done her math curriculum. She pays attention, adds to discussions & answers questions correctly... i'm lovin' having her around!
& chewman... He's partnering up with Molls for projects & they make a great team. Charter is dilligent - & Mollen is a quick thinker. Together - they seem to have the right give & take to make things work. 
Peyton asked me, "mom - do i have to be myself in the pictures or can i wear a costume?" Apparently this dress is a costume. Last year she wore a clip on tie... i wonder what my chameleon girl will wear next year?
Softie. She doesn't see it yet - but i do... it's a big year for her - School matters less in a year like this - it's character (& she's got lots of it...) - that's gonna influence the rest of her life. Grow, baby...
& in less than 2 weeks - i'll whisper goodnight to my last birthday child this season... It's looking to be a beautiful fall...

Beautiful kids...
Blessings to you as you begin & continue this school year...
I'm not surprised that Mollen is a smart chickie... after all the stories of "memory" I've heard, and how Mollen has been dominating since she was what, 3 years old? Yeah. she's a smart cookie. Have fun!!
Love your big map on the wall... can see where it would come in handy to have it at your fingertips up there...I'm hoping to take Alisdair to the school when they do pics and have Jostens do one for him too with 2010-2011 at the bottom. I am thinking they should do it as they used to open it up to Mums of preschoolers too... Going to try anyhow!
