After School.....

Thursday: our day to pick up the girls. Tatum first.(owl hat) She always comes out of school with her best friend that she met in kindergarden. They will be in the same middle school next year. ( they pretend they don’t see us til the last minute, then the friend peels off to meet her “nanny”.) The playground is full of Moms and Dads, grandparents and nannies. I don’t think anyone walks home by themselves. A different world from when her Dad and Uncle were in school and walked a further distance to home, over 2 freeways. We would probably be reported today. :-)

At Fiona’s school, she introduced us to her new teacher as “Peter’s Mom and Dad”! She had a runny nose and bad cough and was in ill humor. Insisted that we FOLLOW her - so we line up behind, Tatum obediently falling in line where she was told and rolling her eyes: “this is my life. 24/7”! (Well, maybe not 24....)

Tatum worked on some school work and Fi played with the gollies (dollies) Pizza and milkshake snack. Had to take them home early in hideous traffic (never again) to make a UW Arctic Ice series lecture (H) about the Arctic Insecurity from a Canadian professor’s point of view and (me) a Book Arts Guild “show and tell.” Always many talented artists to steal ideas from. :-)

back blipped yesterday earlier today...
