What a fab two weeks...and fast!!! phew!!!

Well havent these two weeks flown already....Im hoping all you mums had an okay start to the school year and the fretful babes managed to hang in there okay and get to like school ...lol.
Mine have had an awesome beginning, i am so amazed.

I told Zoe i was so proud of her...we had a little talk at the beginning of the holidays about her being in grade 6 now and that she really had to learn how to get herself ready and begin her homework as soon as she got home from school....she has done all this and more...this girl of mine is so great. Every night she has here school clothes on the floor at the end of her bed (who am i to argue) she has her bag packed with all her homework and notes also packed. The only thing she has to do is pop her lunch in every day. My two used to have showers each nite but now they are bothup early for showers...zoe has her alarm set every day for 6 oclock....if i have a later start they get to sleep in.....

Not to leave Leigh out...he has been brilliant! He gets home every night sits at his desk and works on his homework. Last year his report was quite disappointing in that the teacher said he could have acheived so much had he put in the effort. We told him this year he has to do this..and so far he is not argueing at all it is all going well.

Im so proud of them and have told them so......

Leigh will be soon starting an airbrush course that he has been waiting to start for over 12 months,,,,he is very artistic and i want to encourage it.

Zoe is taking up the trombone this year...good on ya zo....leigh played it in grade 5 and his music teacher says he has an aptitude for music (he can play by ear) so leigh can help her practice Lol....

Zo also wants to do greek dancing at her school this year as well as participate in the active after school program where there are activites run on a mon and thurs night.....eg next week is orienteering and rowing?? So she is right into the getting fit business....

A question for any mums who may be going thru the same thing leigh isnt eating at school....im trying to pack him stuff he can walk around and eat but it doesnt seem to mkae much difference,,,,he isnt eating it when he comes home either...any suggestions would be welcome...i ask what he wants and he says he isnt hungry so nothing but i cant send him with no food now can i??

On a more sombre note today is the one year anniversary death of my younger sisters fiancee from snake bite. They have their ups and downs however they are coping well...i have an inkling that my sister may move back to Adelaide though. But i guess time will tell.

I may leave it here for now as it is getting late. I wanted to go to the drive in to see A night at the museum but its not to be Daz has jsut gotten home from doing water and its now too late to go... maybe tommorrow:)

Have a great weekend and a happy one....charmaine
