Well, today was a banner day in the Eckerle household.... Not because Jude and Franny started their first day of school, but because all 7 of us got out the door, on time, clean, dressed and fed. I couldn't believe it.. Michelle asked me last night.. "do you think we can do this?" as if we were planning a robbery.. Getting out the door as a group is very, very difficult for us, especially when the parents who are in charge have such a low standard of cleanliness and the place you are taking them requires the opposite.
Jude and Frances were welcomed into the yellow bumblebee class this morning at Dipeo and were literally bouncing off the walls at home when we told them they were going.. "bye-bye cars". They went nuts, were banging on the door, ready to roll..As of now, they'll be going 1 day a week...
We took them to school, they played shy for 2 minutes, then Jude start putting on the moves towards his teacher.. Franny of course, backed herself into the wall, played "i'm too smart for this silly behaviour" then eventually gave in and started to play with the toys surrounding her.
The school is fantastic.. Wide open, plenty of space, music playing and tons of teachers to lend a hand... I'll put a photo up later when I pick them up...
I didn't want to push my luck this morning...
Kate has field day today and tomorrow is "Crazy Hair Day!!" Should be a blast discussing hair options with a 6 yr old going on 16... I'll get some video of Kate showing off her athleticism tomorrow..
All for now... the house is exremely quiet.. and clean this morning.
