7 February 2008


Well we finally made it, the first day of school. The boys were so excited they were ready an hour early and in hindsight we should have left then. Traffic was terrible. We know for tomorrow. I will leave early this afternoon to pick them up. Well public school is an eye opener. We were very surprised with the variations of the uniform. Well the shirts were the same but there were varying shades of navy shorts and the shoes (if the children were wearing them) were anyhting from thongs to sandles and of course my children. Yes I bought them what I would consider proper school shoes. They got new sneakers before we left Sydney. I could have saved some money and just sent them barefoot. David and I had a good chuckle.

Of course I cried. They have been driving me crazy for weeks now but I think they were very nervouse being the new kids. I felt for them.

Thomas will start preschool next week. We called in there today to sign him up and he seemed to love it. I have to go a couple of mornings next week to just see how he goes. I am looking forward to having a few days off. He will go Wednesday and Thursday. I think I may take myself to the movies or something. Well that is all for today.

Hi to all of the Gorgeous Coopers,
The boys look sooo cute. We are still missing you. Yes I think a movie may be in order after the extended time period that you have had the boys. Sounds like all is going well.
Take care and will be in touch soon.
Lots of Love
Rell
