School Days

Here I was thinking that when Felix and Emi went to school/pre-school life would be so much easier. Well it is sort of, but nobody told me about how organised I had to be to make this happen. I have had to buy one of those calendars that have a space for each member of the family. I have to unpack their school bags every afternoon... not only to clean out the lunchboxes but to keep up with the notes/requests/homework...yes really. I have to try and remember sports day, library day, art day. Pick up and drop off is okay since Felix prefers the school bus...but still. I write on the back of my hand quite a lot. The kids are very understanding and seem more organised than I am to be honest. Thank god.
