First Day of School...kind of

Today the kids started school. I took the girls with me to drop off Jake and meet his teacher. She seems very nice and his classroom only has 19 children in it. When I picked him up after school he said it was the best first day of school ever! Woohoo! Although I think he may have said that at the school in Bolivia too. He only knew one student from our time here before, her name is Emily, she was in his kindergarten class. She also happens to be a beautiful little angel! My little guy has good taste!

The girls got dropped off next. They got the schedules they wanted, picked up the info on buses and lockers...and off to class. When I picked them up, they had plenty of stories of the shocked faces of old friends/screams/hugs of delight. Sounded like a good day.

I went to the base and got the financial paperwork done for the evacuation. Hopefully all will go smoothly but I'm not about to hold my breath. Ran some little errands and was back to pick up the kids.

Jake went to his first Hapkido lesson in two years...I thought he did pretty well. He was very happy with it and then ate a huge bowl of chili and rice to prove that, yes indeed, he'd worked hard. Between school and Hapkido, he got a much needed haircut - it's still quite hot here!

On the way home from Hapkido, Jake and I witnessed an accident. No one was hurt but it happened right in front of us. A guy doing a U-turn, clearing the intersection on a yellow light was hit by an older lady coming straight through. I was right behind the guy but I was turning left and watched the hit right outside my windshield. Youch! Thought of you Kimmy!
