it's up to her and what she wants but that's actually kind of true thank you is this fresh

this class and they use it to feed local people in need fresh pasta so this is our basil pesto
that we made and mix it around with your pasta noodles and then give it a try see all schools
help us or is it only things I think we're a special school okay we got to kind of run

so I can get up whoa wait I'm doing a back flush
just as Salish was feeling alone again another kid helped her feel right at home
I saved it again good job thank you this is stressful flying a plane one thing about big
schools is they have a lot of collectives and that was really fun oh my gosh it was so good
to meet you next year bye see you next year bye that was so fun but oh my gosh I'm so exhausted
now I have a big decision to make tomorrow okay I've had a night to think about if I like a small
school or a big school better at first it was a little difficult because I didn't know anybody
but then the kids were really nice and there were a lot of great elective classes drum roll please
small school for the last couple years so why not try and make school as long as my
dad doesn't go to a first day of school again wait I would never actually go to
the first day of school with you say Obviously I'd let Mom go uh wait what
