Self Portraits

Thursday was back to school night at the boys' school. I got to visit David's classroom first. I really enjoy back to school night because the boys tend to be very closed lipped about their school experiences. This night is my first chance to get a glimpse into their school world.

 

David has a new uniform. It's the black shirt and jean pants uniform. Thankfully he has ditched the button-up shirt over a tshirt ensemble he wore daily last year. Now I just need to convince him that shorts might be a good idea since we've been hitting temperatures near 100 degrees lately.

 

The night before a big game is always exciting. Friday night was super fun because we had a flag football team kick-off swim party. I thought all the swimming and fun would wear the boys out, but they still had a fitful sleep that night. This was a peaceful moment I caught them in. David commented the other day that he just always needs a warm body to sleep next too. Lately, he's been rotating between James and Abby's beds. It's probably been over a year now since he has actually slept alone. I wonder how this will work out when he goes on a mission....

 

I guess it's a good thing he never sleeps in his own bed. Where else would we lay out the next day's uniform??
