Back to school

So today was the first day back at school.

It was my son's first day in reception class. I was not sure how I am feeling about it with so many things to sort out. I had to remember PE kits, book bags and water bottles. Well I forgot the water bottles but I'll not forget tomorrow, it is a good thing my children now get free school meals, one thing I can thank the government for.

We got to school the children were so happy to see their friends. There were new children in my son's class, he was not to sure about them yet.
Then it was off into class, there was a little tear in my eye. I think I'm going to miss not having to pick up my son at lunch time.

But the time at home went so quickly then it was time to go pick them up.

I waited outside my son's classroom and kept an eye on my daughter's classroom to see who would come out first. My daughter won, so I went to her and she gave me her book bag which had her first lot of reading homework.

Then my son's class was let out. He gave me his book bag which came with his first library book, a book on trucks as he couldn't find one about cars yet. He also came out with a letter with a picture of the class and what they had done. I couldn't see my son in the picture as he was hiding.

Now I have two tired children who have to do it all over again tomorrow.
