Most kids started school here on Friday the 10th, but we were a bit busy around that time and I knew we'd be busy the next week as well. So I told the kids that we would start this week. Plus I still had to organize all the books by order of usage in the curriculum so it would be easy to just grab the next one needed. I didn't do that last year and it was a bit of a pain.
