Crumpled Home

After a stressful evening of packing school bags and reviewing essential school and office supplies (including psychedelic liquid filled rulers and pencil sharpeners), the kids are ready for the first day of school.

RJ is starting Year 1 and LR enters Year 4! Congrats guys!

The first day of school. Welcome to Year 1, RJ. Welcome to Year 4, LR!

Everything was all very friendly until we reached the school gate... and then LR insisted that she not be followed to her classroom. Parents are just too embarrassing.

RJ waits at the door to his classroom. He's totally ready for Year 1, but are they ready for him?

LR had a big presentation in front of the whole school last Friday, reciting a poem that she wrote (from memory). She dressed up in her swimming gear; quite tough considering that Winter has only just finished. Thanks to one of the other parents for getting pictures for us!

The Waterslide

by LR

I like going down the waterslide.
It is swirling and swishing.
Wow! It looks fast!
Down, down we go.
WHEEEEE!
