School has been in for exactly a week and so far there's been only one complaint. It was this morning and it was expressed in the way of tears and a couple screams from Elliott. For some reason it hit him hard this morning that he didn't want to join his class, he just wanted to be with me. Sweet but heart breaking. After a couple of story books and a little apple sauce, he cheered up enough to join his mates. He was all smiles when I returned a couple hours later.
After school has been the real challenge - these kids have stamina and they like to be entertained. I thought this school season would feel a more relaxing than it actually does. Anyone hiring out there? I just might be ready. Until then, here are a few things that we have been keeping busy with...
Flying high with my little pilots at Crystal Palace .
Elliott's got a new backseat driving friend.
The library has new toys and we're breaking them in.
Taking a break from the park to enjoy the muddy river.
Something new - the Green Pig Market's Corn Maze - this afternoon.
You may never see these faces again.
It turns out this maze was serious stuff and being that we were the only ones out there with a storm looming the he bee jeebies set in, so after about 20 minutes and I had to turn the kids around.
In other news, we are starting a new countdown this week. It's a week plus a morning until my parents join us following their trip to NYC. We're getting excited and the kids can't wait to take Grandpa George and Grandma Sherri to Chapter's, the library and GoJees (our new frozen yoghurt place). I hope you're ready for that sort of excitement guys. Meanwhile Cody and I will be heading South for the better part of a week to explore route 1 as the locals seem to know it. In my Canadian way, I'm going to start saying thank you now. Thank you!
