On Monday, Thing Two started the two-week summer school for incoming kindergarteners.  She’s having a blast.  I’m so lucky that the Things have never had issues with crying when I drop them off at school, etc.  The first day, three or four different kids were crying.  The number of crying kids goes down every day, but there are still some tears.  Thing Two just lines up, lets us kiss her good-bye, then as they parade into the room, looks over her shoulder at me and waves.  I think it helps that she’s seen Thing One do the line-up thing for three years.  It also doesn’t hurt that she knows the kindergarten teachers.

Rest of the pictures here.

Reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated.  We’ve been having nasty intermittent DSL & phone problems.  [FYI, if you're trying to call us and run into the problems, call me on my cell phone or email Hubby at work.  Don't email me b/c I have to come to the library for the wireless hot spot to get online right now.  Feh!]

Now, as long as I’m here in the kids’ room at the local library, and the Things have their noses in books, here come some updates…

KNITTING:  I made scarves for Mrs. C & Mrs. R as their end-of-year gifts.  Actually, Lisa’s (she’s only Mrs. R when she’s working) didn’t get finished till this morning as I sat on the couch in her family room, but it’s done now.  Didn’t take any pictures, I’m afraid.  Mrs. C’s was an elongated garter stitch scarf from just under one skein of the fall colors yarn from Sandy.  She loved it and said she’d take it to Norway with her this summer.  Lisa’s was a loose multi-directional scarf out of that pink/grey Katia Ingenua (on US 10.5’s).  She loved it, and I was quite pleased with how it turned out.
