So the year has REALLY begun now... Does the first day of school feel like that for everyone? Normal programming has resumed and even better than that, they are both at the same school again... so, one school means one set of school functions and one lot of helping out! I know, it's very selfish but I'm so gleefully happy about this :) We all walked up that hill this morning but soon they'll be walking on their own... my babies are growing up. The Big Girl is starting high school and the Little One is starting at middle school, so new beginnings all round this year. It's also the reason why they are back today - most schools here go back on Wednesday after the Australia Day holiday tomorrow. Anyway... happy school starts to everyone. Now the crafting begins :)

ReplyDeleteso easy to have them in the same school...do they where the matching blue uniforms?
ReplyDeletea little happy free time for mom!
Hi Elk! Same uniform but the middle schoolers wear blue socks and skort (you know, it looks like a skirt but they are shorts) and the high schoolers wear white socks and a skirt. Not much of a difference, but at least I won't be getting their socks or skirts mixed up ;) Kx
ReplyDeleteMy baby starts high school on Thursday so we will have two schools. Not sure how you keep up with more than one? that sounds hard! Hope your girls have a great first day :-)
ReplyDeleteHappy beginnings Kylie, for the young ones and for the mom who is lookng forward to crafting!

Happy school days to your girls, we're moving to Brisbane in December to our 4th different state/ territory education system. Still learning!! This is my 2nd & final year of having all 4 children in the same primary school, it's so nice & easy. Love Posie
ReplyDeleteYikes! Can I admit a tinge of green jealousy? Mine don't start back until next Monday. And boy will we be ready by then!

Totally agree. Even with two little ones still at home, when the two biggies head off on Wed it'll be the START of the year for me. Don't know what I'll do though... probably just parent these two little ones!
ReplyDeleteAnd they look sweet toghether dressed the same way :)
ReplyDeleteah the memories of school! even from the other side as a kid it never felt like the year began for 'real' until school went back. happy new beginnings and have a very happy australia day today!! xx
ReplyDeleteI can't really imagine what it is like to send the kids off to school. yet. But I CAN imagine feeling a twinge of excitement and glee. And thank goodness that you can streamline a bit with the girls in the same place... it's all that pick-up-drop-off-extra-curricular bizzo that makes life very complicated.
ReplyDeleteHurrah for you, and viva la craft.
hope they had a good first day...and 2nd day by now :)
ReplyDeleteI love hearing about your life in Australia. I am so far away and our school schedule is totally opposite to yours. And yet, I can relate to being happy when they go back to school after a long summer. Don't feel guilty for a simpler schedule and enjoy the creative process! I'm looking forward to seeing the results.
ReplyDeletea great + symbolic image! {sorry i'm a couple of days behind!}.
ReplyDeletei can feel your happiness re extra time ~ can imagine you'll be jumping in after a long break :)
Oh yes I cannot wait. Bring it on. Oh how I long for longer than 1 hour at a time to do , well anything really!
ReplyDeleteCheers
I hope they love it! Yay for more free time! Enjoy!
ReplyDeletei recognise that uniform. OH, and those bags...i seriously don't miss hauling bags full of books on my back!
