So the kids are back into the full swing of school. Cam is in the 4th grade, Anna is in 2nd and Julia is in preschool. When did I get so old? I remember 4th grade. I had Mr. Sisson as a teacher and it was a blast. We did 2 camping trips, got to sell chocolate and I had a huge crush on Chad Aerts. Wonder if Cam has had a crush on a girl yet. I dunno. Boys are a bit more quiet about that stuff. :-)
Believe it or not, I remember 2nd grade as well. I had a teacher named Mrs. Barrons. I don't remember her being super nice or super mean, just plain. 2nd grade was my first year in Pentwater and I struggled making friends and finding my niche. Anna has talked about a boyfriend, which I politely squashed. I don't think it's appropriate for 2nd graders to be "dating". Hahaha!
Preschool is a wee bit harder to recall. I do remember loving to paint, eat lunch and ride the bus. I'm pretty sure I remember doing a field trip with one of our teachers to Consumer's and riding in her VW Rabbit. She had red hair too. Other than that, it's pretty much a blur. I guess that was 30 years ago, so it's bound to be a little fuzzy. Julia love preschool and has a few friends that she talks about. Gabby and Jordan come up a lot in our conversations.
I sure hope my kids enjoy school as much as I did. I really thought of it as a social thing not so much of a learning thing. Which is a bummer. Oh well. Can't change it, just have to learn from it.

Not a bad memory for an "old" person (lol). I also remember my 2nd and 4th grade teachers. Some things you just don't forget! Nice to hear the kids are having a good time in school.
