Red, white, and grey

As we welcome October with excitement for fall, changing weather, changing colors, sweaters, boots, fires, and holidays, we in Spain, are also welcoming uniforms.  Starting today, the kids will be wearing uniforms to school.  In Spain, they like to start school off slower than in the states giving the kids time to get back into their school routine as well as wait for the weather to cool down- considering the classrooms do not have air conditioning- before wearing uniforms to school.  At Los Argonautas, they have two different uniforms: every day and track suits.  The kids have to wear their track suits to school on the days they have PE and on the other days, their regular uniforms.  

I have always wanted the kids to wear uniforms to school but I never thought I would have to remember what day of the week it was and what day of the week my kids have PE.  
Does the school know who they are asking to remember?  I am lucky to get the kids out the door some mornings with a proper breakfast let alone having to remember what day of the week it is...  now I am being required to remember what day of the week these kiddos will be having PE... I am sure they will be in the wrong uniform at least one this year- these poor children of mine.

got to love how Morgan loves taking these pictures while Aydin looks like I am torturing him...
