A yes and no vote

Last night was a unique night for us. There were two votes taking place....a vote on Scotland's independence from the UK and a vote to end the teacher's strike here in B.C. The unique part about it was both results were being announced at the same time so needless to say Alastair and I were both on our computers at 9:30 pm anxiously reading the news (I think it's pretty obvious which results each of us were following!)
The good news came for both of us - Scotland remains part of the U.K. and the teachers voted yes to ending the strike. The great news is school starts next week....the bad news is we leave for Maui tomorrow so Anna will miss the first day/week of school....though I guess going to Maui isn't really a bad thing! Aloha!

Too Cool for School

All across Canada today is the first day of school! Unless you live in British Columbia. Which is where we live. Where all across the province the teacher's are on strike. 
Today I would have had Anna take a picture with her first day of school sign, her hair perfectly done, her first day of school fancy dress on....instead our hair is a bit disheveled and we're relaxing in our play clothes. Welcome to our endless summer with no anticipated school start in sight.
