first day of school

It's the first day of school for these two nuttos. Evelyn is starting 5th grade and Seth is starting 2nd. Seth says that he already likes his teacher. Evelyn is super excited because her teacher used to be her coach. I feel good about this year and all the things that they're going to learn. Seth is excited that his best friend is in his class this year. Evelyn is friends with everyone so when we went to back to school night she kept saying hi to everyone in the hallways. My kids are some of the only kids wearing masks at the school but we explain to them why we want them to wear them and both of them said they would. I know Evelyn is very good at wearing masks and Seth keeps them on his face but has a hard time keeping it above his nose. We had debated whether or not to send them to school this week anyway. Our cousins that we were visiting with on Monday are covid positive. So we have to wait until Saturday or Monday to test and see if we are positive or negative. I called the school and they said that we should send the kids with masks on which we were planning on doing anyway. And to only take them out of school if they come back positive. We'll see how this goes.
