So we made it through the first week of school. It was smooth sailing. Juliet is ecstatic about going to & from school on the bus... I think it makes her feel like a big girl. Way cool.

Today she brought home some of her first maternelle pieces of art.

Samuel came home with a notice "Manquement aux règles de la tenue vestimentaire". Apparently his brand new school shoes that I bought him aren't all black so it's a breach of the code. Seriously?

They are entirely black, except for the soles & the gray lines that form the chic plaid style are greatly exaggerated in this photo... they aren't nearly as bright. Ridiculous.
