Today was Science Fair for Eva and her classmates as well as the 6th and seventh grades. It was held outside on the plaza at school. the plaza is the small space between the mods and the school building. It is not very big but not as claustrophobic as the church hall was in past years. I think that is more of a claustrophobic thing because of all the echoes off the walls. Being outside I could actually hear each of the students explain their experiments.

Eva’s experiment was testing local water for acidity using red cabbage. She did it all on her own and only asked Allison to order red cabbage.

I only took the one photo and I thought I caught her with her eyes open but I did not. Allison got this better photo.

Today was the first day of school for the 2021-2022 school year. This is also Eva’s last year at the school. Where has the time gone? It certainly feels like only yesterday we were bringing her for her first day of Kindergarten.

I dropped everyone off this morning because we are down to one car at the moment. We recently sold the car that we had started leasing on Eva’s first day of Kindergarten all those years ago. After dropping everyone off at school I went to the Kia dealership and set up a lease of a new car for myself so that next week we will be a two car family again.

The kids had a half day today so I picked them up after noontime and after they had walked our friend Colleen’s dog.

Both kids were pretty excited for their day back at school. Andy was really thrilled with being back with his friends. He was bubbling with excitement over his day. I hope that both kids have a great year and Allison too. she’s going to be very busy with multiple rooms, after care and coordinating lunches this year.

Then I took Eva home and Andy off to get a haircut. We caught up with my dad at the barber shop because he had come back to get his hair cut today, too.

Then it was back to drop Andy at home and off to get Allison from school. We got back to the house and a bit later we headed out for our first day of school tradition, dinner at House of Fortune. We had a great dinner there tonight, one of the better ones in a while. Everything tasted perfect right down to the Sesame Chicken. After we had had our fill we headed home to get a good night’s sleep for the second day of school.
