Sorry I'm late with the coffee, but I've only just found the lead to download my picies from the phone! Blame Sprog 1 - she says she didn't hide it, but I think she just didn't want to show off her lovely new uniform! Lol!
Anyway, it's offical, 2/3rds of my family is now back at school!
Sprog 3 is due to start Nursery at the end of September, but I think we'll be hanging on until after October half term as we still haven't mastered the bathroom! ......Sigh!
But that's a post for another day!
So, Friday morning dawned bright (and far too early for me!) and Sprog 1, who had been full of plans to be up by 6.30am and out by 7.30, almost missed it!
The look on her face when I shook her awake and said "It's gone quart-to-7!" was a picture.....she hasn't been up much before 9am all holidays!
Give her her due, she was ready far more quickly than I expected - and unfortunately for her my other half (ocassionally 'D'H for dear husband, usually just OH!) was on a rare day off and ribbed her mercilessly about her new school outfit!
Ties don't bother her - she's worn one for school since she was 5, but normally she wears a jumper. The new school has created an "unusual" (for round here anyway!) uniform of baby blue tank top and blazer. Both of which are compulsory!
I think she looks quite smart! - She hates it! :-)
Mind you, I have to say that if my Dad could see her, he'd be shaking his head and tutting about the blazer that is FAR too big across the shoulders and threatening to take it away to be fixed!
But he's not, sadly, so she'll just have to grow into it!
Never one to miss an opportunity, here's all 3 sprogs, after 2 and 3 butted into the photo session!
And here's Sprogs 1 and 2 together so you can compare with last years picture!
So, here's to Sprog 3's departure to school in a few weeks. Although I must say I have mixed feelinga about that, I'm leaning towards Home Educating, but OH isn't keen and it would severly limit my ability to go back to work to buffer our coffers.
Ho hum, no one ever said parenting was easy did they?!
Have a good week everyone, see you next Friday!

Hi there!
It's good to see kids in uniforms :)
I grew up in South Africa and we also wore uniforms to school, much better than casuals ;) We also had the blazers but they were not compulsory daily, just if you were cold, that was an option or just the cardigan/pullover whichever we prefered. But the blazer was only used in High School, not middle school or elementary. Sounds like an exciting time! I'd love to homeschool my kids one day... might have to move to another country first because here in Italy it's not really done.
Awww, your kids are so cute in their uniforms! Good job getting them off to the new school year!
Your girls are beautiful. They do look "smart" in their uniforms. Hope they are having a great beginning to the new school year.
We home educate at our house and have from the beginning. So I have nothing but positive things to say about that.
Hope you are having a great weekend!

Happy back to school!! Glad you got some pics even though it was probably a rush to get out of the house. Love the 3 sisters pic!
