Sarah is thrilled because the 8th graders get to come to school at 10 am instead of 8 am the first day, and this somehow translates to the whole school year. 
Peter is semi-excited to go back, with no friends in his class, though, he's less than thrilled. (Of course, he had all of them in his class last year, and it turned into a jabberfest everyday, according to his teacher. Very social, that boy. This year, none of them are in the same class. Makes you go hmmm.....) And Meri is entering kindergarten this year! (Okay, so I'm old.) Of course, the craziest insanity will still be staying and playing here at home, named Andrew and Benji (aka Gorilla and Monkey Boy, respectively). You know, I distinctly remember being excited about having the summer come, to step off the hamster wheel of school schedules. But after a summer full of run, run, run, go, go, go, it'll be relaxing to get into a familiar grind.
