More kindergarten

Our 'new' kitchen is going in today and the place is a complete mess again.  See?

Here comes the countertop that has been missing for the over 3 months we have lived here. 

So Vinny is again at the kindergarten, but for about 5 hours today. I drove him there early because I knew these guys were coming. We are still in limbo about how much in total this kitchen will cost us. We requested new pieces free of charge because they did not deliver on the kitchen we first agreed to and paid for...but they think we need to pay for these pieces. It is total chaos.

We also have to watch out for any signs of hand, foot and mouth disease. A kid in the kindergarten came down with it and now there are signs warning us all about it. Ugh.

On a happier note, here are some more pics of our recent days:

Here is Elsie (left) and Amelie (right), both sisters of kindergarteners.
Amelie was born 3 days after Elsie...and look how big she is!?!?

Mr. I-swing-alone is a super swinger. Has been swinging since about May.

Mr. Man

Too cool for school and riding back home after a morning of play

The crazy double kinder car at the park for some ducks and a hot dog

There he is, eating his lunch with Kathryn (his teacher) at his right and from
there (counterclockwise) are Soochin, Layla, some random
cafeteria lady, Souchin and Elena

He was actually eating and feeding himself, it was dumplings
with mushroom cream sauce on this day.

The meal plan for the week. Yesterday Vinny had Brioche rolls with butter and jam and hot chocolate for breakfast. Lunch was potato soup with dumplings in mushroom cream sauce and the snack that he did not eat was whole wheat rolls with butter and chives. Today he will have some kind of soup with fish sticks and potato salad for lunch.
I am envious of his delicious meals.
