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.

Last Day of School 2021

Last Day of School

Today was the last day of the 2020/2021 school year. Both of the kids had good years and they earned great grades. While much of the year was done from home they did go back full time later in the school year and that has been good. Both kids grew in height and in maturity. I find it so hard to believe that Eva will be entering her last year at the school next year.

After school the kids went with Eva’s friend to get frozen yogurt. They had a fun time and it was nice that Andy was invited along as well. Andy also had a fun night at the ABD Parent’s Night Out for their Nerf War night. He does tend to really enjoy that event. Eva enjoys the Teen’s Night Out and is looking for the next one.
