Look Who's in 4th Grade Already!

That's right, it's Sam Bam the Popcorn Man, looking too cool for school, as always! Yesterday we were busy hunting down folders and composition books, getting haircuts and choosing school snacks. Today is his first day back to school as a FOURTH GRADER! He is excited to see his friends regularly again, but not happy about having to wake up at 7:00. We met his new teacher earlier this week, and think she will be a great fit for Samuel. Here he is last year, on his first day of 3rd grade:

Samuel's highlights of the summer were visiting New Mexico, Arizona, California and Colorado in the motorhome with Honeydo and Big Dave, swimming lessons, reading (this boy put away about 50 books this summer!) and learning to play the piano. This fall, he is looking forward to playing flag football in a new Austin league. He is also petitioning me to go through a Spanish curriculum with him so that he can keep up with Elijah, who begins his new (Spanish) school in a couple of weeks. I can't believe it's already time to go back to school!
