Today is officially the our last day of winter vacation and tomorrow we are back to school. The last few weeks have been miserable here-cold, rainy, muddy, and gray. Usually I have no complaints about living in an apartment, but after three weeks of that weather I was beginning to go crazy and the apartment walls seemed to be closing in. I was starting to feel ready to go back to work, but, of course, today the weather turned and it was gorgeous. It gave us a perfect day to enjoy a chuhasca (Brazilian BBQ) with friends in Embu, but it definitely made me long for a few more days of lounging at the Clubbe and playing at the park. Hopefully, these sunny days will start to be a little more frequent, although the rumor is by Tuesday we could be in the 40s! Either way today was a perfect way to end our "winter" vacation (which is strange since we battled 100 degree temps in Austin and Seattle and perfect summer weather in Virginia).
I bought the new kids new backpacks in Seattle. It seemed like a fun way to kick off the new school year-Sophie is starting the K-3 program and Noah is a big, full day kindergartner. Unfortunately, due to the swine flu concerns our school decided to postpone the first day of school for students until Monday, August 10th. Most schools here are closed until August 17th, so we'll see if Graded follows suit or actually opens on the 10th. Noah is really, really excited to head back, so for his sake I hope it is sooner rather than later!
Not so fast, guys!
