La Grève- The strike

French is famous for their strikes. The trains strike, teachers strike you name it. The strikes have been good to Logan however, his teachers jumps at every chance she gets to go on strike. Today he had another strike day. By the hair and his pj's you can probably tell he is one happy camper. In the morning when all the kids were at school it was just the two of us. We worked on puzzles, went to the bakery and just had a great time kicking back. He knows what the "La grève" note looks like when his teacher sends it home now and there is much excitement every time it happens.
He is doing very well in school and is a very conscientious student. He always has his homework done and makes sure he knows all of his spelling words. His spelling words are not easy either, some of them are une boulanger (bakery) un cadeau (present) une fille (girl) une tableau (chalkboard) etc. It's been fun to watch his brain really start to figure things out.
He is the one who keeps track of everything. How many more weeks we have here, how many more days and weeks until our cousins come to visit (every morning I get the report, I think today there are 42 more days) and how many more days until the weekend. He cracks us up all day long!
