Back to school

Winter break has been awesome! The kids and I did all kinds of cooking, playing and shopping. All good things must come to and end. School started back up this week, on Wednesday to be exact.

Chloe was actually really excited to go back to school. When people asked her if she was, she would say no, but when push came to shove, she was ready to get back into the swing of things. She was excited to see her friends, and to wear her new clothes to school.

When I picked her up from school Friday afternoon, she said that she didn't mind going back to school mid-week, because she could gradually ease her way back into things. I had to laugh. Such insight for a 10 year old girl.

Tyler was back at school on Thursday this week. It didn't matter much to him that he was going back to school to see his friends, or to wear his new clothes. What Tyler cared about was getting back to the School Grocery Store. It's a center that his teacher had set up in the class. Thursday night after work, I asked him how school was. He said, "no good mama, the grocery store is all gone." Apparently the School Grocery Store was a center that was seasonal. He really couldn't talk much more about school since his school world has been crushed. He did say that he'd go back next week to see what would be there. Such a little trooper!

Eric is rumored to go back to work tomorrow. He's been on sabbatical since the begining of November. Like Tyler and his grocery store, having my husband be home has been seasonal, and I'm not looking forward to him going back to work. I think I'll just stop there, just incase the rumors of him returning can be put off for one more week.
