Birthdays and Back to School!

Chris started back to school last Thursday. Seemed to enjoy it. He told me he made friends but that they made him promise not to tell me their names. Sure I believe that. ;) He also told me that one of the boys is calling him "Tiny" and that he's the smallest kid in his class. He said it's ok though because when they are fighting over a toy the teacher tells them that whoevers smallest gets to go first and than everyone else is jealous. I'm not sure that they play with toys in 1st grade though...

His birthday was Sunday and we had fun all weekend. Saturday we went and saw the new Star Wars movie. He loved that. Then we went to the toy store and he picked out some presents. Grandma got him the new starwars video game. It looks pretty cool and he was playing it a lot on Sunday. Usually he doesn't have the patience for video games, but he was very excited by this one. Sunday we went to church and then brunch with Tonya and Daniel. Than he played with friends at the house.

Breanna started school yesterday. She seemed to have a good time and be glad to be back. She is in a K4 preschool and can't wait to get some homework.
