hurricane kiddos & aaahhh...the quiet...

aaahhhhh.....

hear that silence?...

thats my house...quiet...ripped through by a pre-school-storm called *hurricane kiddos*, but quiet now...


i love the first morning of a new term...

i read in the *guardian* on saturday...that those of us who loved the pre-school WHSmith visit to stock up on school supplies, still apply this same excitement & organisation to the start of a school year...forever!

regardless of age...we love the anticipation of organisation as the new school year begins...


i would never actually call myself a gal of routine...but i really do come into my own the first week of any new term...i'm like a girl scout...all chirpy & organised for anything...

so today..all three kiddos are back in the classroom- polished, brushed, buffed & smiling...
i am going mad in the house...yep the one hit by that hurricane...the same one that may have come past your house this week....!

aaaahhhhh...the quiet of it all....
if you, like me, have done everything but pack yourself a pencil case for the start of the new school year...then i hope you too sit back for just a second today & enjoy the moment...

  3. Hi - I am not there yet - roll on Wednesday - so my house still looks like a hurricane has hit. I am counting down - bittersweet as ever. I also have a husband underfoot...who doesn't know if he's coming or going; Monday mornings are for work, but not today. It's a laundry day today ;-) Lou x

  5. You even make your laundry look stylish... mine would look like a bunch of stained t-shirts hanging limply... a bit like a before' shot in a laundry commercial! Enjoy the peace and quite... I'm envious... I write this with my almost 2 year old, clambering all over me and insisting on sitting legs a-kimbo across my chest... 3 more years before full time school for this one! Lx

  6. I know that feeling well. I'm almost salivating remembering that feeling. Rather unfair of you, I must say. The inlaws arrive from the UK in a week. The kids are on hols in two. YIKES.
