school has started again, and that means back to work for me.
after seven weeks off.
SEVEN.

july was fairly busy. but august i spent the majority of the time playing neopets.

the boys were happy to see me, and i was relieved. they've grown a bit over the summer. the little one has a new haircut and doesn't look like a toddler anymore - and the older one's teeth are coming in - filling that HUGE gap in the front and now has an answer for Everything...

(dialogue in french)
"did you work on the english books i gave you over the summer?"
"no, i didn't."
"ah."
"i was waiting to work on them with YOU. i didn't want to make any mistakes."
