By 5:00 they were done with their homework. FIVE O'CLOCK!
Now granted, they weren't busily working the entire hour and a half - there was some picking and fighting that resulted in one child at the kitchen table and one child at the dining room table, but still!
That's a lot of homework for the first full day of school for a 3rd and 4th grader. Last week we had three shortened days but they had homework those days as well.
It's going to be a long school year.
On a positive note though, they came right in and did it all with minimal whining and complaining. That made me very happy but I think this is how we all felt at 5:00:

I can't believe the homework kids get. I think it's too much!
It's crazy isn't it? They say our kids need to go outside then give then a ton of homework. THEN if you say anything about the amount of time they tell you "it shouldn't take that much time to finish your work". I really dislike this but it's the same everywhere.
That does seem like a lot of homework! Maybe it will slack of...hopefully!
