Middle School, here we come!!!

We had locker set up night on Thursday night. It was chaotic! I took both girls myself, but should have brought Matt for backup to divide and conquer. We started off at Morgan's locker which is on the main floor. It took quite a while to get her locker open. We both tried the combo and didn't have a lot of luck. Ugh. Once we got it open, she put all her stuff in there and then we headed to Avery's locker, which is on the lower floor. (Their lockers are near their home rooms.) Avery had a different style locker and hers was easy to get open. After we got her stuff put away, we walked their schedules. Avery's schedule is all over the place, switching from main to lower floors and from one end to the other of the school. She won't have many chances to go back to her locker. Morgan's schedule is a lot easier (which is probably better for her!) By the end of the night, I was sweaty! It was hot in there and we had gone up, down and all around the school - ha! Morgan's locker is next to someone from our elementary school, so that's nice. We're not sure if Avery is near anyone she knows because we didn't see anyone around her locker while we were there. Just a reminder, the middle school combines all the nearby northside elementary schools, so it's a big change for all the kids. Their elementary school had about 50 6th graders and now they are joining up with the others for a total of 300+ 7th graders. And they ride the bus this year.. so many changes!
