...that is life.
So school is back into full swing, which means that my life now revolves around 11 six year olds. You heard right, I only have 11 students this year. Our school was rezoned and we lost a lot of students. Most of the kids who are now zoned for our school go to private schools. We lost two teachers this year and will lose another two next year. Enough about that. If you want to check out my school website, including pictures of my classroom click

Well, Madeleine has complained that I am not keeping her up-to-date on home happenings with this blog. So I took a walk around the house and took some random pictures to show just how uneventful things are here. Here's the tour:
 |
| Caleb has been hit hard by the ragweed this week and has a regime of prescription and OTC meds to take, on top of his allergy shots. He missed two days of rowing and one of school this week. | |
|
 |
| The basil is about done for this year. Chicken has her eye on the last few leaves. |
 |
| Caleb still thinks everything should be dropped in the kitchen, including deodorant. Some things never change. |
 |
| Lizzie spends all her time pretending to be a fur rug. |
 |
| Mr. Socks hangs out with Eric and me, watching our Spanish show. It's impossible to watch and work at the same time, since you have to keep up with the subtitles. On the plus side, I'm picking up phrases like "los ciento" and "por favor". I'm sure I've completely screwed up the spelling but you get the idea. I've also started being able to tell when the subtitles don't exactly match what the characters are saying. But by no means would I be able to follow along without the subtitles. |
You can decide if this update was worth it or not. In all honesty, most of the time we are on our computers doing work of some kind or another. Not a swash-buckling life of adventure.
