Beginning of school

So, school begins again.
Abigail is going to start in Grand section and boy, she is looking forward to go to school. What she doesn't know is that two of her friends are not going to be there. One of her boyfriends will be in elementaire (CP), but at least another one Ewan will be there. However I am sure she will make it just fine.
David starts in 6eme and already has been asking about when the autumn vacations will start. However there is a special girl in the class, whom he is looking forward to see again. I wonder how it will be. Most of his classmates are at least 6 month to a year and a half older than him and in the age of 11-12 fun development begins. And knowing that girls grow up, at a certain point, faster than the boys, it will be fun to see him coping with that.
It is time not only for the school bills but time to sign the kids to the activities as well. During the camp we were recommended to sign Abigail into sports, and not to sign David into sports. (fair enough, I believe so)
So, one thing we are holding to a Jewish tradition, we will continue with the violin with David, but have decided that he should probably do some sports but stay away from the balls. So he will be starting running in the team, and continue swimming.
As for Abigail, we will try to sign her for gymnastics (apparently we were recommended to sign her in particularly into gymnastics), and swimming, and of course, she will be, as everyone in my family, playing violin.
With a new addition coming up, it will be a logistics beyond believes, but this is what you will do to make sure your kids are not on your neck every day in the afternoons.
