It is a little hard to believe the calendar. We keep pretty busy, and that is a nice way to make the day flow quickly. The last two have. My cold seems to be manageable, although I am definitely ready for sleep at the end of the day. We have another week after this one, and then the kids have a week off while we go for four days of inservice after Labor Day. It is a little bit of a headscratcher, but it does coincide nicely with the moose season opener on September 1. The district grants students a number of excused days off for traditional activities, which focus a lot around subsistence activities. A moose provides a lot of food for a family over the long winter. This makes it so that our boys miss fewer actual school days during the hunt. I don't know whether or not that was the idea behind this scheduling.
There is not a lot of other news to share at this point. The kids have been pretty accommodating for the most part, although that may be due in part to the grace period that seems to be in effect at the beginning of the year. This bunch is a pretty good one overall. So it might just be that they have learned how to conduct themselves with a little bit of maturity. Of course, it could also be that I expect a lot out of them...
