Marching Band

So Ian is now in the high school marching band.  

I have so many photos to share, but we have been so busy lately I have not had a chance to go through them all.

I went to Ian's last day of band camp and video taped the kids on their 1st complete run though.  Because I am on the same level as the kids and it is a bit hard to see what they are doing.  Ian is the one with the white sousaphone (tuba).
(*the kids in black are all the seniors and will be leaving next year.)

Thursday night was their 1st Uniformed Rehearsal.  It was pretty cool to watch what he has been practicing.  I am impressed he learned to move like that in a week while carrying a huge instrument and play at the same time.

Today is their first competition!  Can't wait to watch. 

Wordful Wednesday - One more sleep.

Only 1 more sleep until my kids go back to school!  Doing happy dance.

***Don't get me wrong, I am sad that summer is ending & I love my kids, but I am happy for them to be going back to school.***

Typically we start school the day after Labor Day in our town.  This year they start tomorrow (Thursday).

Yesterday Ian & I went back to add more things to his locker.   I know my last post had a photo of his locker, but I had to take more with my better camera.  Yep, I made him stand next to it to take photos...I am embarrassing that way.  ;)

Today I am dropping off my daughter's supplies at her school.  Lily's 1st grade list wasn't that bad compared to Ian's 1st grade list (which had 23 glue sticks on it that year...seriously crazy).  These lists are really out of hand.  I never bought this many supplies when I was in college.  It's nuts.  I am still trying to figure out how he is supposed to bring home all these binders to do homework.  O_o

Only one more sleep.

Middle School

All of Ian's supplies are purchased and in school.  We dropped off everything yesterday.  Hmmm...what are they doing with all these 2inch binders?  I am still confused on how they are going to walk around with 3 classes worth (3 2inch binders and books if needed for those classes).  Still trying to figure out where he is going to put his backpack or jacket.  O_o
