Today was crazy! To take the little kids to school they wanted to scan everyone’s drivers licenses but no one had received an email saying it would be so. (I ended up finding one from the district from weeks before. Still terrible and not clear.) The line was insane. Finally after the bell rang and I was leaving in the car with Grant so we could get Trent to school, Josh went with the little kids and called me and said they’re letting everyone in (b/c everyone was so mad) so we flipped around and went back. Barely got Trent to school barely got Grant to school. Our tradition is to go to the Olive Garden on the first day of school, when the waitress moved the drink menu there was a baby lizard and it ran down and got by my seat and my purse. We were in a booth, it ran down by our feet we think. It mostly freaked out Grant, Lydia and me. Grant could not eat and struggled to sit down. Lydia did not want to eat. Josh‘s food did not come and then there was a hair in Blake's meal. The manager compted Josh’s meal and then  I had a very calm nice talk with him in front of the kids, because I wanted to show them how it was done nicely. I wanted him to know that all the kids wished we had gone to Texas Roadhouse and that this was our tradition and in the future a lizard is a bigger deal than a missed meal and more should be done. He compted the whole meal and gave us a gift card (said he was following some good advice🤪) which I was thrilled about.

Our mornings are going to be a little crazy this year. Grant will have football at 6:45am, (after a few weeks it will only be Monday, Thursday, Friday.) We will have to see who will bring the seminary kids home if Josh has to go straight to work.  I will be back from taking Grant in time to have a few minutes with the little kids before driving them to Mason. Then I’ll be back with maybe a minute to spare to get Trent to school by 8. (he was late the 2nd day, first time ever late to practice because he misjudged the time of how long it takes to get there, and I didn’t know when he really needed to be there. I felt bad.) 

Blake and Lyd did not get the teachers I requested but it looks like they have young, sweet teachers and hopefully it will be great. 

It sounds a little negative, really it has been fine just a little crazy. Blake gave his first day at 10 Grant a 9 Lydia an 8 and Trent a 7.9. Each one before they responded made it clear "I am not rating a fun day I am rating just a day of school."
