Schools back!

So many of us have waved goodbye to our children this morning going off to school. Some have started their very first day in primary school.

The noisy one started high school today and was very quiet this morning while she got ready... which every morning could run so smoothly! She had a fun day she informed me,

The froglet started in the senior campus in year 10 and was very excited. She came home very happy with her teachers and looking forward to the year ahead, I also found out that her year 12 subject she is doing this year will probably cost me over $600 eeekkk. Oh well, I will have to make sure she earns her keep and cook the occasional meal. She has a chicken dish she has made several times and its rather nice!

I went back to the gym and was dragged into a step combo class... seriously I was dragged out of the locker room, I had intended on doing an easy session in the gym just to get back into it... but nooooo.




I ended up enjoying myself, even though I am really unco ordinated on the step, at least I amused my fellow gym buddies.

The obligatory coffee afterwards and caught up with the goss. Back tomorrow to do some weights in the gym and then a danzika class.... will tell you about that one tomorrow!!

success!

This is the little 1/4" strippy bits that I had to trim off all the strips. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be so my mum is still going to have a quilt made from the same pattern, although hers will be the full size.

I finished the top but still had to fudge it a bit as I didn't take into account the fact it would be different due to me not making the quilt to its finished size. I'm happy with it... and I doubt the baby will complain!



I hung it on my washing line with the scrappy boarders (don't look at my weeds!).

A lot of people went back to work today, all the teachers are back organising themselves for the new school year (and mentally steadying themselves too no doubt!). The froglet is looking forward to going into year 10 but her best friend is really stressing and hates school before she has even started. The noisy one is in year 7 this year and is very excited about starting high school. I hope they have some great teachers like the ones that have blogs that I enjoy reading.

Have you got little ones starting school for the first time or bigger ones going into high school?
