I finally agreed with L that today would be a good day to make a jack-o-lantern. I finished his costume at the beginning of the week and so he wants to be all ready for Halloween. We even raked leaves today but he was very disappointed that I hadn’t found any of the decorated leaf bags.
L is back at school, but the whole move has disrupted his routine. He is finding it a little difficult to settle back into school and is suggesting most evenings that he probably shouldn’t go to school the next morning. We’ve talked with his teachers; L doesn’t struggle with his ABC’s but there are other parts of Kindergarten that L has to learn. K enjoys having L home in the afternoons.
Last Saturday we went to the pet store and bought Bubbles, he is managing to stay alive. I’ve never taken care of a fish before so I had some nightmares about my great fish surprise turning into a conversation about death.
As for the grown-ups of the household, I did up another batch of salsa today and Lowell is busy writing cover letters so that he can send away job applications.
