Today started off with breakfast and then home school. Bonnie walked up the hill to buy flour the other day. The flour was going to be used for baking, and also for an art project. This morning, she had them make home made play dough for art time. Bonnie briefly turned to wash a dish, and the rest of the flour was dumped out onto the table.
While this was happening, I was upstairs in my office trying desperately to register our fourth child in kindergarten. Evidently, there is some sort of firewall between the country we are in and the United States, that is preventing my laptop from using a secure registration portal. I eventually downloaded a VPN, and that worked like a charm.
We eventually cleaned up the flour, by some miracle all kids are still alive. We had to change all their clothes and bathe them because you can’t get flour out of your hair. Onward and upwards.
After the impromptu bath, we had some left over Little Ceaser’s pizza, and then Bonnie walked the kids to school for a second meeting. I decided to drive because me knee is still in a good deal of pain. We ended up meeting up and had a second meeting with a psychologist who interviewed us, the head administrator, and another administrator that has been with the school since 1977, when it first opened.
The administrators wanted to be very clear about their vision for what they expect of the children that are enrolled, and of the parents. I’ll leave it at that, and we can book mark this for after we come home. But there’s a lot more to be said then I’m comfortable writing in this blog, that they might be able to find somehow. Needless to say, the school has admitted their applications, and they start school Wednesday.
We got to the school at 130 for a 2pm meeting. We were there until 4ish. It was a long day, and the kids were bored. They ended up running around the main square inside the school grounds.
After we left the school, the business that sells the uniforms is across the street. We headed over there, and had to wrangle four very hungry and bored children for trying on multiple uniforms for the school.
When that finally ended, we came home. Made dinner, and shipped our kids to bed. It was a long exhausting day. Very glad it is finished.
