In between our guests we've had a couple of things going on around here. Gracie started going to preschool two days a week. She was very excited. This is her on her first day. A lovely thing about England is that they provide three and four-year-olds 15 hours a week of free preschool. I'm only using about half of my hours. She really likes it, and its great for her to be able to do something on her own and not e depend on her big sister.
The Brighton Festival started yesterday with a kick off of the Children's Parade. There were about 75 schools that marched in the parade with the theme of "Stories through the Ages." It was cold but the kids liked it and we enjoyed seeing the creative floats and unique way of making them.

I think this one was part of Peter Pan
A posing for the picture. Her posing reminds me how Letty used to pose, always ready for a picture.
Letty's class did Romulus and Remus. A legend of how Rome was founded. The story goes something like this: Romulus and Remus were twin brothers abandoned by their parents put into a basket in the River Tiber. A wolf found the babies, nursed them until they were found by a shepard who raised them. When grown, the brothers wanted to build a city where the wolf found them. They quarreled and Romulus killed Remus. Romulus then decided on the place for the city which is now know and Rome. So there you have it a story I certainly didn't learn in the second grade (or year 3 as the call it here).
