When we arrived in Raleigh the kids were plopped right into school. The Elementary school of choice is on a year round calendar which will take some getting used to. I can see the benefits but it has been rough adjusting to the new routine. First of all, poor Ty did not get a traditional start to kindergarten. He was thrown into a class that had already been in session for 5 weeks. After two days of not eating lunch, I guess he decided it was sink or swim. He is eating now and learning too. It will all work out.
This week the kids "tracked out" for their first 3 week break. It comes at a perfect time. The house is 90% unpacked and settled, the weather is cooler and mama needs to get out of the house!
We filled up the calendar with fun things we wanted to do each day of their break. Here is what we have done so far...Day One was discover a local park...so we chose Durant Nature Park which is only about 1.5 miles from the house.

Day Two was find the local library. We found it and checked out some books with some cool pirate photos in them. The boys room is getting a new design. Their bedding came yesterday, which were some cool PBK skull & crossbone quilts. Now we just have to paint some pirate ships onto the existing "waterscape" mural that is on the wall. :) We got a little side tracked and the kids painted bird houses instead. Luckily we have two more weeks.

Thank goodness for a three week break! I bet the kids will feel refreshed and ready to start back up at school, in a place that is now a little familiar.
It looks like you are off to a fun start!
