Back to School, back to reality!

Good friends, Good Times!

At the Walter Sisulu Botanical Gardens during the holidays

But for now, it's back to school - my girls don't look too sad to get back into the swing of things. Maybe it's because we LOVE to LEARN!

It's Concert Time

Hooray, we had counted down all the sleepies and finally it was here.

Jaina's end of year concert went off very well! The theme was "We are the World" and the girls of Jaina's class represented the country of France. Yes, they did the Can Can.

We also had a good chuckle at boys doing USA, throwing their arms up in the air, one boy hit another in the face, who turned around with a punch on the offending boy's shoulder - it turned into a full on war! All this during "Wish they all could be Californian Girls".

They finished off the concert with a class doing South Africa and got the whole crowd going with "Hier kom die Bokke" and "Nkosi Sikelel iAfrika". They all then sang "Don't Kill the World". Needless to say, there was not a dry eye in the house.

When we went to fetch her from the waiting room, Jaina announced to her father that a group of boys in another class had told her that she was the most beautiful in her class. WELL, I must say, my husband kept his composure very well because this is his little girl that we are talking about!

Finally, here we are - 2 exams to go for Caitlyn and 5 days left of school!

YIPPEE!!

Aaaah, Back to School!

Well, it is the end of another holiday break and it is back to school tommorow. Shoes are polished and bags are packed, ready to start the last term of the year.

We have started the countdown and there are now 8 weeks / 57 days to the end of school and I just know they are going to go in a flash. With exam prep, school concerts and all the buzz that goes with preparing for the Christmas holidays, we will look again and it is over.

We are all looking forward to starting home school next year. It is a new adventure and an exciting one too.

Well, my girls are fed and bathed and in bed, on time! Wow, we didn't manage that once during the holidays.

Let's have a breather and a cup of tea and plan for what lies ahead.
