Back To School...

My babies are off to school!!

Somehow we managed to even get there early today (it definitely won't happen again though!) and by early I mean 2 minutes before the doors opened, instead of my usual '2 minutes before the bell rings and I have two kids to drop off'

30books, 2 kids, 2 lunch boxes, water bottles, hats, library bags, paint shirt and an unimaginable amount of stationary dropped off at school!! Seriously kids these days have WAY too much stuff to take to school!

My plan of filling up Isla's pram with all their school stuff was stopped when I realised Kaitlyn's class is up two flights of stairs and no there is ramp!! 😁 So it all got lugged in by us! Great morning workout.

By 10:30 I had scrubbed the bathroom top to bottom, done half of the gigantic washing pile, vacuumed all the floors (and under beds) and even been for a 30minute walk around the block! It's amazing what you can get done with 2 kids gone...but the silence is deafening-it's eerie and I miss my babies 😭

I hope they have a great first day with their new teachers and I can't wait to pick them up this arvo and hear all about there day

I hope everyone else has had a great start back at school! How did your littlies go? Any first timers? 

EDIT: My two survived quiet well. Bradley doesn't have any of his 'best buddies' from last year in his class, but he doesn't seem to mind too much. His teacher had a very cute little gift for each of them-a little bottle of bubble mixture with a tag that said "we've been bubbling with excitement to meet you" cute right?!? 

Kaitlyn was very nervous at first to be up in the big school, the classes are all upstairs so she's way up in the tree tops. When we walked into her class she suddenly wouldn't let go of my hand. But there were no tears and she smiled as I left the class room. 

I also totally embarrassed her by waiting in the wrong area after school! Oops! 

From today onwards once Kaitlyn is dismissed from her class it will be her big girl job to walk over to the pre primary area to meet me and Bradley by herself! I can't believe how grown up and independent my little girl is becoming!! But I'm also enjoying this new phase we have entered, it's exciting and I hope they enjoy it as much as I enjoy watching them grow up.
