Thomas is now in kindergarten. He loves it, although he's not good at telling us what
he actually does at school. Most of the time he doesn't remember, and
when he does remember, it's often a hard to believe story like one about his
teacher catching wasps on the playground then bringing them in for science
class.
Natalie has also started pre-school. It is taught by six moms in the neighborhood
(I am one of them) who rotate who teaches the kids in their home twice a week
each week. We’ll also be going on
several fieldtrips and have a few holiday parties. Her preschool is at the same time as kindergarten
and the twin’s naptime leaving me with just over an hour to myself. It's so unbelievably quiet in my house that I hardly
know what to do with myself.
Natalie likes her school as well but just
like Thomas doesn't talk much about what she did. Her teacher last week
did mention that the girls were not including the boys and were even a bit
snooty to them, which I could easily believe Natalie doing, not intentionally
to be mean, but rather because she just loves all things girly and princessy. So I had a serious talk with her, of course she denies ever being mean
to the boys. We’ll hope she is nice.
Labor Day
Labor Day, which is usually quite blah,
was actually very fun this year. We went
to Red Butte Gardens and then met up with Matt and Laura (Jared’s brother and
wife) for dinner and icecream in Salt Lake.
Red Butte Gardens was beautiful and fun for even the kids. We were
pleasantly surprised that it happened to be free admission’s that day (reg.
approx. $30 for our family). We had a great time with Matt and Laura and
were so glad that they were able to meet up with us.
