Hoo-ray! My two eldest kids started back at school for the year today (grades 1 ans 2). For my non Australian's readers, our school year runs from January/February through to December with 3, two week breaks through the year (in my home state of VIC.) Our children begin school at 5 and start in grade Prep and continue at primary school in grades 1 - 6 until they move into high school for years 7 - 12 aged approx. 12 - 18. The year before children begin school, they attend kindergarten for 3 days a week in preparation for school. My youngest son, Drew starts school next week (in grade Prep) and my baby, Bella, starts kinder on Wednesday...
Josh and Nikki ready to head into class
I've had a busy last couple of days getting them all ready for school and kinder and labeling all their uniforms, as I have a certain child who is very good at losing his jumper. On top of all the back to school stuff, my eldest son Josh split his head open and required two stitches... Just what we wanted, two days before school went back!
This pic is for family who I kept on promising to share a pic of Josh's head...
Today's sketch is designed by Me! After making a baby box keepsake/first year calendar this week I still have babies on the brain.... so a baby card it was.
Did you know we have a Sketch Friday Frenzy blog? Each week the card sketch is uploaded and it's also a place for everyone to upload their own take on the current sketch. To see the next card on the round robin list, visit Sharon Field's blog.
