School Days!

So school has begun! And the kids are loving it. On Evie's first day, she was very excited, but a little nervous.



But by the time we reached school, she was growing more comfortable with the idea.



And a few minutes before the bell rang, she was happily tucked away doing one of her favorite things.



Not to be left out, Arun started his preschool experience. He loved sliding into his backpack to be like his big sister.



He was so thrilled to finally have his own cubby!



Sadly, he's missed all this week due to a nasty cold that turned into pneumonia, but he's on the mend and looking forward to getting back to school next week.

We've actually all been fighting sickness and the start-of-school tiredness, but despite that Evie and Daddy celebrated a start of the year with an outing to Seattle to use some free Mariners' tickets.



They ended up being a few hours early for the game, so a trip to the market to pick up a cool Pez dispenser (she picked out a Tigger for Arun), and a bus ride to the sculpture garden made it a full day.





Sadly, we don't have the same problem with being so early for school. But at least they're clean when they arrive.
