fun at school

Sorry I didn't have time yesterday to write about the pictures so here's a brief explanation for those of you that were wondering...
This first one is of Rob teaching his older kindergarten class. He likes it much better than the younger class, for one because he doesn't have to deal with poopy diapers or runny noses, well except for Colette's and he doesn't mind hers:) He also likes it better because there are fewer of them and they are better behaved than the babies. Colette likes this class more too. She especially likes the boy on the far right, when we sit down to watch a video she gives him kisses and pets his head. So strange;)
Next Colette loves to play with her umbrella which she calls "ainy". This day it was actually raining so she got to show off her umbrella holding skills. Lots of people stopped in the street to watch her.
Next is a picture of what we suspect is a "yakuza" car. You might notice the 4's, the benz and the license plate. I just kind of snapped the picture off because another car was coming so sorry it is not very good, but I know that some of you were wondering what they look like so I took advantage that this one is often parked just around the corner from our school. Next we have a picture of some of the girls in Rob's class. Rob did a girl against boy activity and the girls won. You can't tell from the picture but the girls were really excited. These girls are really sweet and cute and I like them a lot, it makes me sad that they aren't regulars, they are just in Rob's class for the "spring special" I don't imagine that they will stay on because the little girl on the left is a twin (her brother is in the first picture, also really cute and sweet, especially when the other boys aren't influencing him:) and they came during summer special but stopped as soon as the special was over. They are 5 years old so they go to regular school most of the time. Lastly we have a picture of Colette in her house slippers. I just bought them for her because I couldn't resist, they were only a dollar and she doesn't have any slippers for the house so she is usually barefoot on the freezing floor and they are boyish so her little brother can have them when they are too small for her. We also have some squeaky shoes that we will bring back, she loves them and although they get a little annoying it is nice to be able to keep track of her, she can be sneaky. And they are blue so they can be hand me downs too. I think I will try to get some video of her with the squeaky shoes on.
