And back to school we go...

• Well, that was a quick break. Here we are already back in classes. We had a great vacation time. We just finished our last extended vacation time in the foreseeable future.
• We said goodbye to my folks yesterday. We had a special time together visiting the Caribbean side of Costa Rica and also going to the tallest volcano in Costa Rica. Nevermind that we all were miserable sick in a boat on rough seas or that winds at the volcano were so strong we were nearly blown into the crater!
• I’m going into mourning. Brooklyn is apparently done with afternoon naps. Short of drugging her, I can’t think of any way to keep the naps going.
• Brooklyn’s teacher was telling us today that Brooklyn is a little on the bossy side. She tells her classmates to eat (in Spanish) and if they don’t do it she gets in their face and says “TIME OUT!” At least she isn’t giving spankings…yet.
