How many others here have kids who went back to school today? :whistle:

I miss her already. :unsure:

By the way, I wasn't blowing bubbles this morning when I walked her to the schoolbus...lol...that's an orb you see on the side of her backpack. I think my Mom decided to watch over Alli on her first day of grade 6 and hitched a ride in her backpack.

My two teenagers start HS on Sept. 7th, but I'm not looking forward to it because I have to play the role of the drill sargeant to get them up and running in the mornings...at least until their internal clocks have been reset to wake up before noon... :P

Mine went back on the 23rd. One just started middle school, the other, high school. I HATE this time of year. I love having my kids home and the relaxed evenings we have without the worry about having to be in bed for school the next day. We still have the running about with ballet and horse-stufff during the summer, but it's different since we don't have to clock-watch around homework....

A great marriage is not when the "perfect couple" comes together.

It is when an imperfect couple learns to enjoy their differences.

Ohh yes,......I joined the club,..

My twin girls started 8th grade today, they got to a DoD operated school in Germany.

The school hols for them was a drag of sorts, as they are used to 6 week break over Christmas, with a southern hemisphere summertime. The 12weeks just seemed to be never ending for them, and were asking a few weeks ago, how much longer??....lol

They did get to go to Italy for a week on a camp and managed to celebrate their 13th birthday whilst there.!

As to what we did with the oher 11 weeks,...lol, I cant rememeber, but none of us were ever outta bed before 11am....lol.

They also still have a hard time with changing grades mid year. Realistically, if they were at home, they would of already been half way through year 8 by now. But its all good, they did an extra few months of Yr 7 this year when they got here, and are now moving on. They started Kindergarten when they were 4.5 anyways,...so they are really just at the right age for their grade now.
