New School Year

WoW! I can't believe we are already a few weeks into the new school year.

Nor can I believe that it's been over 3 months since I last blogged. I have been reading blogs but my life got a hell of a lot busier over the summer & that's a whole other story to tell.

I did take a photo to share with you of the notes that came home on the first day back to school.


3 kids at 2 schools = LOTS OF NOTES!

They brought home several more over the next few days too.

Here are the culprits!




I always kept a folder for each school (with a 7 year age gap, our 2 boys are always going to be at different schools) but this year I need to devise a different system, as we have welcomed my beautiful teenage niece into our home over the summer break, who is at the same school as our eldest son. So now I need a way of keeping track of his bits, her bits & common bits. I will still have a separate folder for our younger son & now I have a preschool folder for Missy Megan's paperwork too.

How would you tackle this one?

Yay Karen - your back!!!!! Not sure about the notes - if its one I have to pay for something I get it back the next day - others I write specific dates on my organizer, then slip them in the back. Itsworking for now lol!
