seriously how did Connor get to be a second grader already? First day was just a half day it went well, although they DID NOT have snack time today as it was only a 1/2 day and horror of all horrors lunchtime is at 12.15 so he might need to bring along 2 snack just in case...Turns out he did know several people in his class one from daycare, one from mee maw's church & one from tae kwan do. Sadly I still cannot get the damn computer to recognize our fancy new digital camera, luckily I have held onto to the old crappy one which I'm guessing you could get in a bubble gum machine at this point but way back when it was new it ran us around $100 I think. So excuse the picture it's not great but it'll do. Being the cool kid that he is C requested a sling backpack this year & as his favorite team is the Yankees-because it's grandpa's favorite team-we went that route.

meet the teacher day
wasn't this just the first day of school back in the stone ages when I was in school? This year we went early got there right at 2 managed to find parking on the property got in & out by 2.30. I do understand when the school was built it was with the safe assumption none of the kids would need to park however any time there is a school function of any sort the parking lot is a madhouse. Last year we went late & wound up parking in an adjacent neighborhood. C's teacher seems nice unfortunately there is no one in his class that he knows from kindergarten or first grade which is a sham, luckily he makes friends easily & I've been informedby "himself" the second graders do recess altogether so he will be able to play with his friends then.
I do wish the school's would be a little more organized & let us know teachers & supply lists a little earlier, they have a generic 2nd grade need list but each teacher has specific items they want the kids to have & as the tax-free weekend was last weekend that doesn't help so much.

american favorite past time
the three of us went up to Sevierville for a Smokies game last night. Although the game was not a great one for the team(they lost4-0) we had a great time D was trying to sell me on the idea that it was all about the junk food anyway & I must admit the funnel cake was really good... I have no idea why we don't go to games more frequently it really is a "nine inning vacation".
Growing up in CT in a family of Yankees fans meant we would go to at least one game a season, luckily both my uncle & father had friends with REALLY good box seats, field level-one of the boxes on the visitor's dugout no less. So yes we were spoiled & I remember the shock to the system when for one double header Dad bought upper deck seats-a whole different crowd sits up there, the drunks were pretty funny to say the least. I think they lost both games and we wound up leaving half way through the second game,still fun though so maybe it is a little about the junk food.. Comcast(D's employer) is having a company night with picnic at the ballpark at the end of the month so I know we will make it to at least one more game this season but with school & fall little league starting up again our weekend will fill up fast, plus there has been talk of more camping which I hope pans out!
