Since Craig is arriving in London early Friday morning, we decided to take a mini-vacation to the big city. I booked train tickets for the kids and I for a Friday morning departure at 10:30. When I told the kids they would be missing school on Friday, ALL THREE OF THEM said "Awwww, why?" in very disappointed tones. Now I was flabbergasted because I would have killed to get a hookie day that I didn't have to beg for from my parents and to London to boot! Here is the reason for their dismay:
1. Owen and Finn have (respectively) clarinet and saxophone lessons on Fridays and neither one wants to miss their lesson.
2. Evan and Finn have their first "mufti" day where they pay a pound to wear casual clothes at school for the day and the girls make cakes which are sold at break time and lunch. All of the proceeds from the day are then donated to charity. Cakes, street clothes and music lessons, I don't know what to say... I guess I am going to have to promise a ride on the London Eye to make up for the inconvenience.
