So there's no more denying it, Summer hols are winding down and next week is all about preparing for the return to school for our big kids.
To be honest with all the stuff going on getting our house ready for marketing I've not had a very restful last few weeks anyway, but my early birds have totally embraced the long Summer evenings and even taken to the odd sleep in... It's going to be fun breaking out of that habit again!
It's tricky with the big boy particularly as he is so keen to move and does not really want to go back to his school knowing he may only be there a term. Hard on the big girl too although she is far more flexible in attitude generally. But go they must!
My tasks for the week include baking and stocking the freezer with lunchbox snacks, I'm continuing last years no prepackaged snacks plan, and the great joy of school shoe shopping.
I will admit I am not one of those Mums that contact school books... slack I know but I've not done it the past two years and the books have been no worse off than the year I did (first child in Prep year, I was so gung ho!).
My kids start on Friday (I do not know why either so don't ask, I think it is daft too!) so Thursday I'll be making a week and a day's worth of sandwiches for the freezer. I freeze them individually in our (many) sandwich boxes so I can whip them out and repack lunchbags quickly of an afternoon. We were sent a Nude Food Movers mini lunchbox, banana mover and muffin mover to try out so I'm looking forward to no more squishy bananas or fruit in the bags at the end of the day... too bad they can't guarantee it will actually get eaten!
So how do you prepare for the return to school? What tasks do you have left to do this week? And are your kids going back on an idiotic day of the week too?
