All is quiet

We returned from our Gold Coast holiday very late last Tuesday and life has been in fast mode since (I think I need another holiday!!).

What a crazy morning!! Everyone is finally back at school today and I thought I was super organised but the morning just didn't go quite as planned.

With Jason away for work, I felt like I needed to be two poeple this morning. Getting Jakob and Nathan to the early morning seminary class at 7am and then picking Nathan up again at 7:50am. Then in between getting the three youngest up and ready and organised for their first day, while trying to get the house in order and a few loads of wash on the line. Then taking the primary school kids to school and meeting new teachers, and making sure they were happy. So now after a zumba class at the gym I can sit and enjoy the peace - though I do enjoy having them all at home.

Jakob began year 11 at Launceston College yesterday, and he had a really good day. Though he arrived home at 4:15 yesterday and had to leave again at 4:45 to get to work. So by the time 10:30pm rolled around last night he was exhausted. No uniform for him this year either.

I haven't managed to grab a photo of Aneika or Nathan yet in their uniforms, so I will edit this post later and add their photos. Aneika is in grade 10 this year and Nathan is in grade 9.

Katie-Lynne is now in grade 4 - she's such a tiny thing. Her and Lilly share uniforms now and clothes. When I dropped her off this morning she was so anxious and didn't want me to leave but we found some friends and I managed to get away.

On the other hand Lilly informed me that she was taking herself in and that she didn't need any help. I did check on her though and she gave me a hug. She's such an independent and confident miss. She is now in grade 2.

Henry is now in grade 6, so one of the big kids at school, his last year of primary school. I always tell him that he is my baby boy, which makes him smile, but I think he would die of embarrassment if I said it in public.

So what will I do with my free time. Well I have three days and then uni begins on Monday....
