H called me at work yesterday. The neighbor had watched the kids for me. Apparently D8 was picking on s12 because he has a bad pimple on his nose and lots of breakout-great for the first day of school, poor kid. Anyway, she busted on him all day and H was furious. He screamed at her until she was crying, something she never does with me, and I took her cell phone away. I made her write him a letter of apology last night. I was glad he felt he could call me to let me know of her behavior. That is one place where we are on the same page, she is quite strong willed and hard to parent. S12 is pretty easy going.

So off to school today for them. I took pictures, H didn't come over but called to wish them well. Another journey begun...
