Strange Start to School

Keva is off to grade 3 and Tavish is off to grade 6 - his last first day at Morse!

Keva sported her 'kitty mask' to start her day. Tavish chooses the buff as his mask of choice. Such a strange start to school this year...

On your mark, get masked...

...and go!

Same

yet...

...different

Side note, I walked Tavish to his first day of school, which he said "you don't have to Mom". 

"I know that silly, I want to".

Then proceeded to tell him I'll walk with him because I want to on his first day of High School and first day of his first job...😁

Tom piped in "on his first date..."

To which I clarified "no, no, that's big stuff, I'm going with him for the whole thing" 

It's super fun teasing tweenagers.

End of a 6 Month March Break

Well ... it's a strange, and very delayed start to this school year! The kids were initially both signed up to do virtual school because Tom would continue to work at home. That plan folded when it was announced that his return date was pushed up, so off to school they go!

I try to take the kids out the night before school yeach year as a bit of a celebration. This year, we were celebrating the end of a 6 month March Break! The school staggered the start dates to try to work out some extra covid kinks, so Keva started September 16th and Tavish on the 17th. Yay, two back to school dinners!

On the 15th, it was just Keva and I (T&t were off to baseball...or hockeyy...or both). We went for a bike ride to a local restaurant/pub to dine together on the patio.

On the 16th, it was a full family outing for Pho at their recently covid-renovated outdoor space before we were off to watch Tavish play baseball.

It's hard to believe it's been a full half a year since the kids were last in school. Oh, it's also back to work for Mommy after her year 'off'. Some things come to an end, and plenty gets started back up...
