@shadami: This is your third baby? I wish you the best of the luck with that.

I have no kids myself, but I've heard that three can be a little rough to handle.

Oh is it not one of those world holidays? XD I care zero about it so I only know it because my husband was born on labor day. It's the first Monday in September. I... Think it's about jobs and unions or something? I have no idea. But our schools start the Wednesday after labor day. XD so my poor girls don't have mommy for the first day of school this year because I'll be in the hospital.

Your schools start after Labor Day? Lucky....when I was in school we always started like the Tuesday or Wednesday BEFORE Labor Day. And one year it was even earlier, like August 19th.

Ooooo you have one of the all year long schools! Hubby and I both think that's actually better. Especially for the generation filled with ADHD...

Like my daughter xD
This is actually her first summer vacation since she was three.

Oh I see...that part does indeed suck. But at least it should be a little less hot when you start school, right?

And so...your youngest is going to be in Kindergarden?

Nope, she's going into first grade , our cut off is December something 5th I think? If you're five on or before then you can start kindergarten at 4.

Yup. Our summer vacations are 2 months and 2 ish weeks long.
7-2:30 for upper grades and 8-3 for younger grades.

@Teatales: But since you have year round schooling, you get more breaks than we do right? Because where I went to school we got like 4 days off for Thanksgiving, almost two weeks off for Christmas, and like 3 days for Easter.

She is just this little tiny thing. Just hit the height my older daughter was two years ago xD

Oh my goodness. Lol. xD

I was always one of the taller girls growing up in elementary school since I hit puberty early. But once I got to high school I was like the third shortest in my class. xD

Shadami, our schools run pretty much the same then. I'm in Red Neck Country....I mean, southern Pennsylvania so we had Mondays after Thanksgiving off for hunting. And everything else is like you mentioned. Then we had to wait for summer vacation for another decent break.
