This Tuesday marked the kids' return to school.
The princess is in Grade 4 at a new school. She's been thrumming with excitement to start back to school for weeks now. Kids just don't realize how good they've got it! She's learning French for the first time, and already has bunches of friends in her class.
The wee (gosh.. not so very wee anymore!) lad started Grade 6 at his usual school just around the corner. He's allowed to ride his bike to school now AND he has signed up to be a safety patrol... patroller. (escorting little kids from the kiss-n-ride to the kindergarten yards, directing traffic at the kiss-n-ride, etc.) He's very excited, and I'm pleased to see him take an interest in extra-curricular responsibilities at school.
Both kids had very successful first days. They both really like their class and the teachers. Mostly I think they're just happy for summer to be over so they can spend their days with their friends again.
Next week our fall schedule kicks in, which means we'll lose our ability to spend Saturdays at the cottage. From now until closing (Thanksgiving?) we'll be lucky if we get there to spend a day on a Sunday. *sigh*
Summer screeched to a halt altogether too abruptly this year.
