It's our last week in London! It does seem that I am the only one remotely sad about leaving, so I'll try to keep my tears to a minimum. Since Southbank is such a huge expat community, so many of the kids' friends are moving as well. Even is we stayed, the relationships would all be very different come September. (Approximately 1/3 of the current third graders (8 students), and approaching 1/2 of the first graders (I think its 13) are moving this term.)
One week from today we will be heading home on our long flights to Chicago. This weekend is relatively calm, but come Monday morning, the fun starts in earnest. The pet shippers, the packers, the school run, sports day start down at Paddington field, Will's appointment for his shoulder at they Royal Free.... they all start about 9am Monday morning.
This weekend we will be slowly sorting out clothes for our last week here, proper summer clothes for Naperville, and all the things we'd like to see again before August. We also have some pocket money to spend at the toy store, but of course it is raining today, and shopping on the high streets is less than enjoyable in the rain.
