one week later…
for the next three years, i will have all four children at one school.
or at least that's the plan. who knows what could happen.
yes right now all my kids are kennedy kids. sebastian in primary three and the triplets scattered throughout the various primary one classes. hooray!!
the first week brought several classic lines.
tess: jasper, were you a good boy today?
jasper (indignantly): of course! i was very good mummy, except when i was being a little bit naughty!
carys: mummy, i think i feel smarter when my hair is in a bunch.
sela: the teacher will write children's names on the board with a sad face when they are naughty. i will never get my name on the board. i will always be such a good girl mummy. there will not be sela's name on the board and if there is, it will be the teacher's mistake.
sebastian: my teacher just keeps getting better and better. and she's pretty.
by friday, the much loved friday night picnic, the triplets had circles under their eyes and had to be brought home early. even going to bed at the unfair, unreasonable and very likely, unGodly hour of 8.30pm still resulted in massive dark swollen circles under sela's eyes the next day.
they love school.
everyone seems to think that I have a great deal of time. this is very far from the truth, but it is something i aspire to. i am in the pta office a lot, and trying to get this home better organised.
we will post pictures soon of my little kennedy kids.
