It was back to school and work for everyone today (there is no rest for US children & parents alike). Ours ventured onto a great big yellow bus to head off to school (and they even made it there and back in one piece). Both were a bit apprehensive but seemed to survive. They enjoyed wearing ther own clothes, having a packed lunch and getting to know their new friends. It is good to know that US schools generate just as much paperwork as ones in UK to test the parents. A pleasant surprise for us parents was that homework came home (spelling tests, maths sheets, hand-writing practice and two family craft projects - yikes) but I am not so sure that the children agreed! The first day back to work was not so dreadful for us either - it will be good for all of us to get into our new routines. A good thing is that it is so cold here at the moment that it is very easy to justify a nice cup of hot chocolate with marsh mallows when everyone gets home - delicious.
