First Day of School! First Day of School!!!

It is now the end of Thursday and Nicholas has two full days of school under his belt... his bus was over an hour late due to an accident on the highway but he certainly had a big smile when he got of the bus... guess he'd had an almost 2 hour playdate of Nintendo DSing... I, of course, had visions of his head in a bucket somewhere along the road....

Oh well, yesterday was a great day - After I took Nicholas to the bus stop and saw him off (with a little low high five and quick smile) I came back and got Little Miss ready for her first day. She had to make a quick craft for her teachers and we were off. Chris and I walked her in and she hid behind my legs for about one minute, long enough for me to give the craft to her teacher, Neal, who made quite a fuss over it being the first picture of the new year... and then she was off. She immediately went to two little girls and they started playing with the Magna Doodle. She was too cute... and was ready for us to leave...

We went back to the apartment and just sat for a bit. I made a new friend with the dry cleaner - he came by to pick up some things and was just the nicest guy, Hiro-san... He will bring everything back on Saturday.

We picked Sydney up at 11:30 and she talked and talked about her day. We took her to lunch and then had to go back for a get acquainted meeting with her teachers.

We walked to the Hiro-o area and did some shopping - we found a nice produce shop and got some things. Sydney loved seeing the new types of fruits and vegetables. She asked us to get her a slice of white melon.

Sydney will only go to school every other day for the next week so she and I were home today. Chris went into the office to get some things and walked Nicholas to the bus stop... Since Sydney was still asleep when they left... I climbed back in bed and read. It was wonderful!!!! We had a nice girls day and I did get a lot accomplished - did 5 loads of laundry and have all but one put away! Feeling quite proud of myself....

Now off to dinner - it's chicken fajita night
