Zoo Time!

Just a little catch up. Back when school was still in I chaperoned Sadie's Kinder field trip to the zoo. Our zoo is very small so we saw almost everything in less than two hours. Good thing too because my kids were complaining about being hungry less than an hour into it! We saw the animals, fed the giraffes, and rode the zoo train. Then we walked to a park to eat and play on the playground. Sadie liked the otters the best. She thought their swimming tricks were pretty cool. And she was so worn out that she laid in my lap and slept the entire bus ride home!

My Group - all but one were extremely well-behaved. I was pretty lucky.

Kindergarten

Today was the first day of school and we all survived! The hardest part for me was just figuring out the drop off/pick up craziness in the parking lot. Cute Girl likes her teacher and I think she liked school. It's hard to tell because she wouldn't really tell me anything. When I asked her the best part she answered "Coming home." Then she ate the rice krispie treat from her lunch box on the ride home and I gave up on asking any more questions. When Grandma called to see how it went she offered up a little more and at dinner I figured out that she never once asked to go to the bathroom. That explained why she was jumping all over the place when we got home.

Handsome Face and I had a fine day at home. I can't figure out what to do with myself though. Only having one of them at home is weird. We read lots of books, played memory and trains, and worked in his colors workbook. It was nice not to hear any fights though and I was actually alone during nap time. How novel!
