Back to School Eve 2021

It's the last day of "coronacation!"  After a year and a half of barely leaving home, all four kids are heading back to public school tomorrow.  They spent their last day of vacation . . .


. . . playing with squishmallows (and, uh, Joy's new tennis shoe???) . . .


. . . and having end-of-summer video chats with Pink Grandma.


Todd and I also drove to his school to tour his second grade classroom.


We got his school supplies all organized in his desk, then met his friendly teacher.  I was pleasantly surprised that a couple of his classmates remembered him by name from their brief stint in kindergarten together.


On our way out, we stopped by the measuring wall to see how tall Todd is.  At 5'-1", he is just a little shorter than an emperor penguin.  I never realized those things were so big, or that flamingos were so small (they're a foot shorter than I am).  I guess you're never too old to learn something new at an elementary school.
