Back to School

Our 3 children are back to school next week

Can't believe the holidays are almost over!

Last week I was covering books, putting their names on pencils, 

oil pastel crayons, calculators, text books, rulers. . .

Crazy how long it takes

I bought new school shorts for one of our boys, too

I remembered, I needed to make a library bag for our daughter

Made it today

Our baby will be starting Kindy (Pre Prep)

The time has flown by!! 

I hand stitched Yuna's name onto her library bag

She said 'I can eat cherries all day'

Hubby says it looks good

Our eldest son will start Year 5

Our 2nd son starts Year 2

Our daughter starts Kindy

What grade are your children starting this year? 

Are you ready for packing lunches?

Valentine

My favourite song, at present, is 'Valentine' by Casey & Michelle Barnes

You'll see why I've fallen head over heals in Love with their song

I'm Bored container

I know I said it when I was a child

My own children say it too! 

School holidays are when I hear it more often. . .

'I'm Bored!'

It can be hard to keep your children entertained for most of the day

I got the idea to make the 'I'm Bored' container via Pinterest, 
from The Organised Housewife

I'll be using the 'I'm Bored' container 

during the remainder of school holidays 

when our children need something to do

Here's an example of some activities your children can do
