Back to School

(while her brothers attend school, greta attend her own class of body painting. why is it so difficult for a 2 year old to understand "only on the paper" ?)


Edwin and Joe have been back to school for a week and a half now. Grades 1 and 3! We are so happy that they are at the same school this year and we can walk again.





All summer long, Edwin was stressed about going to school... being at a new building, having a new teacher, would his friends be in his class and getting into serious work. His kindergarten teacher was very "play oriented" or in my words LAZY! After some tears I left him to it and he is loving it. His teachers are really sweet and we hope he'll learn a lot this year.




Every year when my sister in law warns me about a teacher, Joseph gets that teacher. Lucky for us, Joe is a very agreeable, happy, helpful and intelligent boy. We are hoping that he can get through another year with a difficult teacher unscathed and more prepared to face the real world.

Hope it went well for the rest of you.

These kids are much to cute! Give them all big hugs from me and let them know how much I miss them.

I often find that other's warnings about teachers never come to fruition. I hope this is true in Joe's case this year.

it's hard to understand only on the paper because it is just way too much fun to paint everywhere else!!!
