I spent a fortune on school supplies this year, for four kids, but forgot all about a school bag for the newest school-age-child. Oops! Lucky he wasn’t too concerned about using his miniature preschool backpack, until his big-boy one came in the mail today! He was pretty happy with the new purchase 🙂
Our old, new-to-us trailer/caravan has been so awesome for our family this year. We get to enjoy yet another adventure this weekend with our friends before the chill of winter sets in. The Riverside campground is one of the best we think. Great facilities, kids playground, a SWIMMING POOL (which we made the most of), in a beautiful forested setting beside a river!
We have been camping for the weekend in Kimberley. This morning we went down and played at the river. As I have said before, I am drawn to a busy frame…..
When I uploaded my photo’s I loved the perspective of these. When I showed Kent he couldn’t figure out what was going on. I was lying on the ground behind them swinging, and Kent was pushing Neika.
I remember each of the other kids first day at school vividly. Each of them was quite traumatic. Today felt different somehow. Maybe because there are 3 other big siblings ahead of him. Or maybe because he is by far our oldest child to go to school at 5 3/4 yrs old. Or maybe because today was so short and we were required to stay with him for the hour he was there. Whatever the reason, neither him nor I felt traumatized. Phew!!
Waiting with the crowds for his name to be called, and find out who his teacher is.A quick glance back at Dad, as he goes to join his class mates.Sitting on the mat, raising those hands high…..A little activity and a yummy snack provided by the teacher, and day one is a wrap!
