PJ’s homework

This came home from school in PJ’s folder.

Only in Chinese school do you get a star with a frown in it when you get ONE wrong.

She is just not living up to their standards.

Off to school

This was yesterday.

CT had just rolled out of bed and wasn’t ready yet.

PJ is set and ready to roll.  In fact, she ran onto the bus so fast that I had to go on after her to kiss her goodbye.

KP was all ready but had to wait another day for school to begin, but got to visit for an hour and hang out with his new class mates.

All in all, the day went pretty smoothly.

And today…KP headed off to his first day of ALL DAY Chinese Immersion Kindergarten (didn’t even want to stop for a photo-can you tell by the blur?).

With his big brother giving him ample instructions before leaving the door, his big sister taking his hand as they stepped onto the bus together and his wide anxious eyes waiting for all the new adventures to begin, I am sure this day too will be great.

Unless he goes insane because he has no idea what the teacher is talking about.

I’ll let you know if that happens.

Trouble

Not only do these two get to hang out while their older brothers play football, they get to be in class together this year.  Watch out Ting Laoshi.

Sneeking up

I love this photo of PJ.

It just makes me giggle.

Heard while paying attention

PJ:  Owww, you just hit me in the nuts.

CT:  PJ…you don’t have nuts, you have a berry.

Summer is for the dogs

Seriously…what else do you do during the summer then get dressed up with your cousin, put a leash on your little brother and then walk him like a dog.

Last Day of School

Ohhh they can’t wait for this day to be done.  Do you remember the excitement?

This one can’t wait for the end of the year paper fight on the bus.

This one is struggling with what to do for the end of the year talent show: singing, dancing, jokes.  Who is to say.  But she was dressed and ready to go by 6:45 sharp.

This one is ready for anything, as always.

Let summer officially begin…I’m thinking Gin and tonics.

Sweet bunches

Get out there and smell the lilacs before they are all gone!

School Work

Yet another story about bacon.

She writes, “Everyday I eat three bacon strips and I drink one cup of orange juice.”

Who is this guy?

I love this photo.

This is PJ’s first experience being on a float in a parade. She really is very excited to be dressed up as a mini bride for the Historical Society even though it is not showing at this moment.

She has no idea who the kid sitting next to her is.

At the end of the parade I asked her what it was like being up there and what they talked about. She said, “Oh, I didn’t talk to him.”
