The kids had a great first day of school yesterday. K reports making 6 new friends. But it really helps that he knows one other kid from his old school, they had lunch together. L was using newly purchased liquid eyeliner and a concealer stick this morning (no doubt all her friends were doing the same). I'm just wondering why a teenager has need of a concealer stick! She said she received lots of 'big hugs' at school.
They had their annual physicals after school. The doctor was really busy. He told us his wife got her masters degree and went back to work after staying at home for 10 years (raising the kids). That family has a high work ethic. Their offspring sound just as accomplished.
L was telling me a little snippet about Rafael Nadal, the tennis player. They asked him in an interview about who he would like to face in the next tournament. He said he didn't care, it could be Pepito Perez. Then all his fans immediately started checking who Pepito Perez was. Turns out it's like saying 'John Smith' in Spanish. It means he really didn't care who his next opponent would be!
We bought a tub of Breyer's fat free double churn chocolate fudge brownie ice cream. I have to tell you, it was 'to die for' and quite good on the calories too.
Oh, I bought my first Christmas gift while I was out and about, nothing planned, it just happened.

I'd love to chat but I have some Breyer's fat free chocolate fudge ice-cream ;o)
Happy to hear that school went well. That's music to a mother's ears. It's so important to have good friends at school
Soccermom, welcome to the club!
Thanks Kay, truth is, I'm more concerned about the academics with my son.
Buying xmas pressies already? You may well be the first blogger I've read this year to say that.
:)
Christine! Did you just say you just started your Christmas shopping?! Alors!
I'm glad your kids had a good first day of school. That is always a relief--especially if it's a new school.
