Back and Forth

This is a picture of the front gate at Max and Calvin's school.... Some days, I see this much more often than I would like. Today is one of those days. I walked the boys to school, I then walked back at 11:45 to pick up Max for lunch. I walked back again at 12:30 to pick up Calvin for lunch (Calvin was staying late during the lunch hour to work on some higher level French verb conjugations). Coco and I walked the boys back to school at 1:30. I then made my last trip at 4:30 to pick up the boys after school. Whew!! No big deal, it's not a long walk but to sound like many of our parents when they talk about their school age years..... "It's uphill both ways". This is actually true! You'll have to see it to believe it.....
Tabitha is complaining about how sore she is these days. She has a two hour gym class on Thursdays where they run. They run and run and run. She hates every minute of it but I love it! How many gym classes in the States make the kids so tired that they are actually sore? Taba's soreness was compounded with 2 swim team practices, horseback lessons and then all the biking and walking she does to and from school each day.
