First Day of Pre-Kindergarden and A Pic-Nic

 First day of school pics!

These are pretty dark but as you can see they went much the same as last year...

Me: "Eleni smile! Mommy wants a nice photo of you for your first day of school"

Eleni: "I AM smiling!! Are you done yet Mom?! Let's go!"

Ah, got it! 

Yorgia's head is in the way but anyway, 

my ridiculous need to get 

a posed first day of school photo 

can be checked off the list for the day

So far so good with pre-kindergarden! Eleni's pretty happy there, she's made new friends and is excited to see old friends from preschool. She likes her teacher and most importantly (for her) they have a slide!!

Tuesday we were in Mytilini to see the pediatrician for check ups and vaccines. They were NOT happy about the needles but we went for a picnic in the park after so the tears were soon forgotten

 Swings are fun!

 No slide goes un-slid with Eleni

 Ta-Da!!

 Queen of the castle

 More fun on the swings

...it's a good thing we were the only people there because Oly and Gigi were not about to share

Weeeeeeeee!!!

We had a bit of rain this week and the temperatures have started to drop....to an unsettling 21 degrees...could it be that after 8 years the Canadian is finally acclimatized to the Greek summer heat? 

How will I ever survive a Canadian winter again?!
