Back to School 2020 (Siobhan)

                               

~First Day of School~

Today is our first day back to school! It's hard to believe the 2020 school year is upon us. Ethan and I start classes at UAH on Wednesday, so we have all been working hard to start this semester strong amid the COVID craziness. We aren't sure exactly how school will look this year, but we are excited to get back into classes.

Of course, every first day of school has to start out with some laundry and new chore cards! Owen is happy to help :)

Brandan's back to school present was a coonskin cap. Ever since we visited David Crockett State Park, he has been loving learning about Davy Crockett and was thrilled to get a cap like his.

The twins couldn't be more excited to start preschool again!

After a very full orientation day, the kids celebrated by making a delicious Ethiopian regional meal! We had Sega Wot (stew beef made by Aidan), Doro Wot (chicken made by Connor), Injera (flatbread made by Shaila), Misir Wot and Gomen Wot (red lentil stew and spinach made by Siobhan), and Malva Cake with ice cream (made by Shaila!) Everything was incredible, and all the recipes are linked above.

A new year of science means a fun back to school cell cake! Complete with candy mitochondria and cupcake vacuoles...

I think Owen summed up our back to school thoughts perfectly 😂
