If you know us, this was a big day in the Hearn household. Rebecca
had homeschooled the girls in Colorado Springs and Phoenix, but we
wanted to do things a little differently here. We wanted to get
integrated into the community here, plus Rebecca had reached her
maximum capacity juggling Ben and teaching a 5 and a 7 year old. So we
enrolled the girls in school in our small village. Here’s the photos
we took that chronicled the big event:
Step 1: The night before, take a nice bath. Then quickly jump into bed, there’s no heating here!
Brrr… or is it some new Hannah Montana dance?
Step 2: Dress up really nice. Since this is Europe, be sure to use as many colors as possible.
Happy now… but how long will it last?
Step 3: Eat a good breakfast
That is Zumo de Naranja (OJ), Frosted Flakes, an egg, and some toast. Yummmm…
Step 4: *CENSORED* due to much crying, screaming, and clinging.
slowly back out the door when children are distracted and then make a
rapid getaway.
like a half-day, right?
Step 6: Meet the kiddos, happy and smiling, at the end of the day.
As long as there is ice cream waiting at the end of the day…
Step 7: Take kids to get some helado, and swap stories about bossy teachers, funny boys, new best friends, and underwear.
Happily ever after…
What?!? We have to do this again tomorrow?!?
