Jamaican me happy

School starts tomorrow. And to celebrate the new school year, we are taking our family to Jamaica!!!


Haha!! True.

Dear New Teachers, 
Our children will be missing the second week of school because we are bad parents and are taking them to paradise. They are all smart kids and will not miss a thing, as we all know you will spend the first month reviewing last years' school work and going over the rules and routine. We will think of you as we choose to swim in either the sea or the pool at the 7 bedroom villa which has a staff of 5. Our friends who are from Jamaica will be there with us, along with their 3 kids, so we will get plenty of local tours and history. They even want to take us to the Bob Marley museum. (Who knows what they sell in that gift shop??) We will call it social studies. 
Sincerely,
The Bad (but happy) Parents

And I'm so sorry about the health insurance issue- I hope your cards have come in the mail by now. :( And I'm so sorry you're still waiting for the FS. I hope you guys have a phenomenal vacation! You deserve it!

Awww, that has got to be the best way to start the school year! Your kids probably adore you 'cause only the coolest parents take their kids on vacay at the beginning of the school year...

Have a blast! Can't wait to see your pictures.

Yep. OA, thumbs up. You guys too, I assume. I told Jake I'm coming this time. We want to get in as early as we can in November. What about you guys? Ready for round two? :)

We are bad, too, opting to drive from Seattle to Virginia for two weeks to show our kids America rather than getting them in school on time. Nice to know there's other rotten parents like us out there! My husband starts FS orientation on Sept. 13.
