Today was Andy’s first day of school but it was the first (semi) full week for Allison, Eva and Andy. Allison was in half days all last week and Eva went in once. So this was the first week of school for 2024. Andy starting 7th grade and looking forward to it. This year they are in accelerated math and seem to be enjoying it so far. Andy did some work on it over the Summer, not much but some.

andys first day

It looks like it will be a nice week this week so Andy will be walking home from school all days except for probably Friday because they will have their trombone with them to take home and rather than carry that home I’ll pick them up and then swing over and get Eva.

With everyone out of the house I started my new regimen of taking a long walk and listening to an audio book in the morning, then taking care of any dishes in the sink, laundry that needed folding and then some video game time. Once the Granite State Comicon has come and gone and I shave again I’ll start making videos. Right now I have the most unruly beard for my cosplay at comicon. And I’m growing my hair out. I like it much better bald then the balding look I’ve got going on now.

Eva First Day of Junior Year …

Evas First Day of Junior Year

Eva started her Junior Year today. Granted this was not a full day of school and the whole school was not there, just the Juniors and Seniors, but she was back in uniform today. It was a chance for the students to go through all of their classes quickly and meet with every teacher so that they could learn what materials they would need for the year.

Eva did go to school yesterday for an hour or so to meet with her little sisters. As juniors she gets a few new students as her little sisters and helps them out in their first year.

eva seemed pretty happy with her classes and teachers this year. She’ll definitely have more of challenge with AP Lit and some fun things, too like Astronomy and, of course, Art.

egg sandwiches

While Eva and Allison were off at school I decided to make some egg sandwiches for breakfasts. I made six sausage Egg and Cheese sandwiches and 6 bacon egg and cheese sandwiches. I had a little production line going there. Andy came at the end and helped me wrap them all up so I could label them and put them in the freezer. That way if anyone wants one for breakfast they just need to pull it out of the freezer and put it in the fridge the night before. Then heat it up in the morning.

thai sticky ribsTonight we went to Fireflies to celebrate the start of the school year. The family gave me a gift certificate for Father’s Day and I decided that we should go use it tonight. It is good thing we had that gift card because we ended up spending almost exactly as much as what we had on the card in addition to the card. BBQ adds up. One thing that we got that we had not had before was the Thai Sticky Ribs. They were Andy’s suggestion and everyone loved them. they were so good. Everything else was, too and we had plenty left over to enjoy another night.
