Start of school

Bella, almost two, enjoyed the mild sun. It did not matter that we had a hot summer; the weather cooled down as school was about to begin.

Theme for the school year is "Blessed are the Peacemakers." 

Cups offered what she could as a peacemaker. 

Cups wrote about her experience of the Alaska cruise and drew hedgehog island with activities from the cruise on it. She has been into hedgehogs for a while. 

The first graders described themselves and drew their families with their names on the backside. John quickly identified our family at back to school night. Someone asked what kind of a dog we had, and I said this kind and pointed to Gofres' drawing.

We have picked apples north of Bellingham when we visit Agong and Ama for Ama's birthday the last few years. I like having them stand next to this sign.

I personally enjoy very much riding in the apple crates pulled by a tractor. 

We filled fixed-price bags, and Gofres took three more. 

Then there were all the ones that we ate. 

Cups showed Gofres how to make scrambled eggs after school for a snack. 

While Gofres worked on his first assignment of drawing himself flipping a water bottle, he refused to share his apple. Cups asked him about not having arms in his drawing.

Cups then proceeded to consume the apple when Gofres was not paying attention, and Gofres cried when he found most of his apple gone. #ourdailylife
