So today is back to school for term 2

I had two very happy and excited boys who just could not wait to see their much beloved teachers. I also had one slightly teary and stressed Princess who had to face a new teacher. Gosh and did the older kids make them all fear this apparent very strict teacher? I for one am happy that she will be their teacher as she is one of the trusty "old hands" at school. We did all we could last night and this morning to re assure her and I am so sure that this afternoon we will have positive feedback from her.

The weekend had a sick Hunter and sick Lion in our household but the boys did get their horse riding done. The Princess had a fitting for her flower girl dress (looks very cute) and she and I attended the kitchen tea on Saturday late afternoon. We had lots of fun of which the least was not the photo booth. The theme was great - she is marrying a pilot and the girls used "Bon Voyage" as a theme - I made some "Air Ingrid" (obviously her name is Ingrid) stuff for the party on Photoshop. The best was that it was a total surprise for her. She even made cupcakes for what she thought was her sister's birthday tea.

























Sunday was filled with a visit to her mom's to give her the photos I took and to play with her Great Dane puppy. Gosh he loved the kids and they loved him. They played him into a long nap.

For the rest their was lots of Lego and play dough happening and general playing outside. The kids also did their usual bit of garden work.



Well, it's back to remembering activities, packing lunches, getting school stuff ready and waking up that half hour earlier. Onwards and upwards!

    Hope the Princess comes back with a good report about her teacher. It makes all the difference if they're happy at school.
