Part of the reason I'm recently posting far more cute stories from Evangeline than from Ana, btw, is that Ana can be really hard to talk to. For example, on the first day of school....
Me: So, Ana, did you like school?
Ana: No.
Me: Why not?
Ana: It was boring.
Me: What did you do?
Ana: I sat. It was stupid.
Me: What's your teacher's name?
Ana: Ms. Stupid!
Compare this to Evangeline's conversation, and you can see the difference....
Me: Hey, Evangeline, did you have fun at school today?
Evangeline: Yeah! My friend Briana was there, I thought she was going to another school but she's not she's in my class, and my teacher is nice - I forgot her name - and I didn't get to put my crayons away today, and we had fun, and I only had a half day you know, and there's no school tomorrow, and....
It's somewhat less like pulling teeth!
But, on to today. (As regards the four-day weekend, btw, Ana's comment was "Even my TEACHER said it was stupid!", which I believe.)
We were walking to the library, and we saw a little kid walking home in a uniform - not one I've seen before around here, but I think it's from the new school that just opened in the PS 16 annex. Dark green top, khaki bottom.
Ana: That's her uniform? *looks down at own uniform* It's so... the colors are so dull!
Me: What, you don't like green?
Ana: Well, it's green and that skirt, what color is that?
Me: Khaki? Well, khaki does mean dust colored, but, you know -
Ana: *totally not listening* Of course, it's not blue. I AM SO SICK OF BLUE BY NOW! I am SEE SICK OF IT!
Me: Seasick?
Ana: I see it, and I'm sick of it! *laughs maniacally*
I can, uh, see that, though she never complains about wearing her uniform anyway.
On that note, here's this article on identical quadruplets all dressed up for THEIR first day of school. Cute picture, story's what you'd expect.

We have no idea how many women have conceived identical quadruplets in the history of the world! Even if there are only 27 recorded cases.
