Today was Chase's first day of fifth grade. Mama took pictures of him, like she does every first day of school. Usually, she takes them on the deck but it was raining so she took them in the kitchen. She took one of Chase with Tee Tee and Lars and one without -- the without one she posted on Facebook. Mama took Chase to school on his first day, and Nanaw will pick him up. When Nanaw picked Chase up, he said he had a good day and didn't have any homework. And that's about all he said. Mama picked Chase and Nanaw up at 4 p.m. to go to Chase's ICS soccer game in O'Fallon, Illinois. They also picked up Will to ride with them to the game. Will gave Mama and Nanaw much more information about the first day of school. He said the teacher was really nice and told the class a lot about her. She says it's all right for the students to talk to each other about things other than their schoolwork, as long as they're keeping up with the schoolwork. She told the class she gets crabby if she only has one cup of coffee in the morning. She said they can tell if she's crabby because she'll have her glasses on. The soccer game was fun, even though ICS lost.
