First day of school Eve







Well, tomorrow is Maeve's big day! First day of school. Ok ok, so its not kindergarten but what a HUGE step for Maeve! We've talked about lots of school related things. For example, what to do if someone is naught to you. Maeve's answer? "run". Okayyyy not what Mommy would do but I'm sure she'll figure things out quickly. I'm not totally sure how things are going to pan out, it could go either way. Today Maeve asked me if I remembered ballet in Canada. I did of couse, she said maybe I could stay and watch her at preschool like I did for ballet! haha smart cookie! I think she'll be just fine. I am prepared for tears, but hoping we don't get any! Here are some awesome pics of pantsless fun at casa mussellam!

Holy crap - is that Madigan? wow.. she's looking so toddler-ish! Tell Maeve that Milo wishes her a great first day at school. Believe it or not - he loves it now. Only took 4 months.. hopefully Maeve will be keen a little quicker than he was!
love Ange, Milo & Theo, in Vancouver

Madigan looks like a little doll in that pink hoodie! She is so darn cute.

I can't believe you keep your kids in kitchen jail! Is that the way they do it over there? Brilliant!

I know Maeve will be fine at school. You may have to be the Norma Rae of Leamington Spa and pioneer the (forced)gradual entry tenchnique with her school. Or you can casually loiter on the other side of the fence during recess....either way, Maeve will eventually rule the school, just like Mama did.

Maeve I like your pacifists way of dealing with conflict....so like your daddy! He was not however able to run away from the fair Vashti, a fact that I remain forever grateful for!!
Good luck Maeve and I have heard there are no mean children in Britain!!
Love you ever so much, (watch for a post lovies)

Wow, The more maddigan grows the more she looks exactly like jason, Its creepy, Jason shoulda been a girl, I mean he is kinda bitchy at times but normally only when he has cramps. I remember the stool prison game, The bar stools from the old trailer, The brown and black ones, ahhh I fondly remember them, The precious and rare solitude, the bread and water, the savage ass attacks. Memories....

Wow how exciting for Maeve. I can't wait to hear all about it. She's so smart, remember ballet in Canada.

Madigan looks so much bigger now. She looks like what I would imagine Jason used to look like as a baby.

And out of the mouth of babes while talking to Anna, Haidyn got on line and told us that she went to school with Athea today and she said "I like Ahtea's school better because it has toys to play with"
We sure glad they are back.
