Today was our “official” first day of school. I say official because yesterday I had the bright idea of trying to start earlier than scheduled and was met with a horrific day yesterday. Naturally, I was a little hesitant about the first day of school. I stayed up prepping all night making sure everything was printed and ready to go the next day.
A couple of homeschool traditions we have in our house include taking a picture with a sign that shows the grade that they will be in this 2014-2015 school year. I also print out a questionnaire that they have to fill out which includes the types of things they like and are interested at their age.

| Lightning is entering 3rd and Miss Bits Pre-K |
The funniest quote of the day was when I asked Bits what she disliked and she responded, "Reading books! Boy books are gross!"

This year I started a new tradition where I hid all their school supplies around the house. Each one was marked with an X, orange for Little Bits and blue for Lightning. They had a blast and it was a nice introduction to our Bible study time and talking about the Word of God being a treasure in our lives. They had a blast and it helped break up the jitters I was feeling about the first day of school.
