Today I let Stella stay home. We all went to the
science museum. It was awesome.

I love my days with my kids. I love it even more when I come home to a clean home, which is what happened today thanks to our Philippine cleaning lady (we pay her as much as we paid our helper in the Philippines for a full six days of work), I am forever ruined as a housekeeper after Asia.
Story of the Week
Stella came home from school yesterday and was so excited. Her class has been learning about the community and people in the community and their jobs. To help the children understand and put their studies into action they went to our local patisserie. Stella was so excited when she came home and told me all about it. I was happy for her except... EXCEPT that NO ONE TOLD US they were going on a field trip.
Now, I realize, I am foreign, I am from the land of helicopter parents, things are different here. The schools are in no way transparent. I have reluctantly accepted that as I part of my no tuition deal with this place. If I could just make one small simple request: just a note, please just a note. I would have gladly said yes to this excursion but I really wish they had told me in advance.
Sigh.

wow what a cool sciences museum. it looks like it has many parts that are similar to the phx childrens art museum and the boston's science museum. i dig it
So glad you had some fun with the kids.
Not surprised to hear about the school field trip. They do that all the time in the Belgian schools here, apparently.

yeah. mentioning the field trip would have been good.
Looks like you had a ball at the museum. How fun!
