Term Three - 2011

School is back in full swing, and all the kids were raring to go and get back into it. I am blessed indeed to have children who love school. Even if it just the social part that some of the kids love!
Kieran's up first thing in the morning and its straight on with the uniform and bags packed, everything is ready to go. From about 7:50am, he starts with the 'Can i go now, mum?' I finally let him go at about 8:10am. Any earlier and he gets into mischief. he just can't help it!
Tristans abit trickier, with him, its like the minds willing but the flesh is weak! Mr. Distracted needs continual reminders, 'Have you brushed your teeth, Packed your bag, Done your homework, etc' He can't wait to leave either, leaving about 7:50, and biking off on his own. Him, i can trust not to get into too much mischief. He's allowed abit more space than Kieran.
Caitlin! Oh Caitlin. Thank God for giving me a girl, but Thank Him more for only giving me one! Every morning is a fashion oppurtunity, modelling at least three outfits before deciding on the crucial one. Dressing for the weather is never considered. Its all about the final look. She'd rather freeze than be caught in an unfashionable ensemble. Still trying to work out where her fashion sense comes from. I have NO taste whatsoever and often go to her for a check before leaving the house!! 'Mum, No! That looks Yuk!'

Coby is our chilled out ball of fun, but even he's set in his ways. He likes his early morning cartoons, and gets out of bed to watch Scooby doo with his dad. The school-run is done arond Mickey Mouse Clubhouse & Wonderpets. Cartoons are all over by 9.30am, so its a good window to get facebook and emails out of the way, and to top up on coffee before the day officially begins.
