First Day of School

We have been hard at work getting ready for school, Mom and Dad prepping and planning and going to school, and the kiddos milking every last ounce of fun out of summer, working around mom and dad's schedule as best they can. We are lucky to have two pools, one at our house and one Olympic sized at the school. We have made great use of them both.

We have begun to drive around town as well, in our new to us Kangoo, exploring a few corners of Rabat and not getting too lost along the way. I went out last Saturday and just drove, with a few destinations in mind and my limited sense of direction. I eventually made it home, and actually found the same places a few days later. maybe my infamous lack of direction skills are not so bad after all. We have visited the Marjan, a Superstore and Walmart conglomerate in set up, tonnes of food and cheap stuff to buy, the Acima, a smaller much less busy grocery store in a small mall, and Kitea, an IKEA type furmiture store where we ordered bunkbeds for the girls. It is a fun little car, made by Reault, a bit of a box but practical and roomy, in a European design sort of way.

Today is the first day of school for us and the girls. The girls went to their classrooms and met their teachers and hopefully some new friends. A tearful mother dropped them off, a hard and brave thing to do for a mom who is working fulltime for the first time in years. Good thing we are all at the same place. Mom gets to teach them PE so she we see the love loves.

BTW if you are on Facebook, and you actually know me, I have posted many pictures there, as it is easier and more will fit. Find me and send a request, and if you are not on facebook, maybe it is time you signed up, eh!. I will try and load some up on Flickr or something similar, if I ever find the time.
