School has finally started — and believe it or not, the kids are excited. This year is kind of special, as this is the only year when all 3 boys will be going to the same school. Yes, Will is in 5th grade, and Sean and Daniel are in Kindergarten.

Getting on the bus wasn’t too big of a deal. Will had the routine down, and the twins were just excited to be there. The challenge is that they are on the last bus stop, and so the bus is already very crowded when they get on.

Now we just need to see how their first day of school went. Will already had some homework for school today, though it was pretty easy — bring a picture to school of something he did this summer. I don’t think most other homework days are going to be this easy.

We’ve posted before about Will’s public art displays and inclusion in the county art fair. Another of his pieces from school have been selected for public display, this time at a local karate studio. (Karate and Will? Well, there have been better matches.)

His work is displayed a little higher in the stack, so we couldn’t get it close to him, or without the glare. But it’s a nice piece, and as you can see, he’s plenty proud of it. We are, too.

This is a fundraiser that Will enjoys doing every year - the American Heart Association’s Jump Rope for Heart Program. A lot of schools do this one, and they have a bunch of activities that they do to raise awareness — and do some jumping rope, I’m sure.

For once, I’m almost organized enough to announce his fundraising plan here. Kellie set up a website for pledges and donations if you want to sponsor him.

Good luck, Will! And have fun (as you always do)!
