How can 2 1/2 weeks have gone by so fast?!?!?! It was so relaxing having time to sleep in a little more in the mornings, not as much rushing around here and there... (big breath!!) But here we go again! It was a little hectic this morning getting everyone rallied around and back to school, so I didn't take any pictures, but I will certainly try when they get home from school this afternoon. Rea had it in her head this morning that she had already discussed with me last night that she wanted TWO braids this morning, not one, but TWO. Well, apparently there was a miscommunication b/c I started with ONE braid, and here came the start of the water works!! We managed to get around that one, and she got her two braids, but in the mean time, Ma-lak was having a small crisis of his own...
On the last day of school before the break, he and Rea went to class with their very carefully wrapped presents for their teachers whom they adore. They picked out their gifts for them very thoughtfully, and Ma-lak had chosen a watch for his teacher. (He has excellent taste by the way.) Well, I guess Ms. McDaniel was sick or not there that last day, so he didn't give her the present (I found it in his back pack two weeks later!) and so today I remeinded him to give his present to his teacher. And he started crying. "What's wrong?!?!" I exclaimed. "I ruined her present." he said. ?!?!HUH?!?!?
So after some investigating, he told me that he had written on the enclosed card, "Dear Ms. McDaniel, I got you a watch. Love, Ma-lak." He was so worried that she would read the card FIRST, and that would ruin the surprise of the watch!! He thought he had totally ruined the whole gift, and was so upset! (Aaaahhh, my tender-hearted little boy...) So, we made a new card, crisis averted!!
Can't wait to hear how their first day back to school went! Never a dull moment around here, that's for sure!!
