Kids back at school
« on: August 15, 2012, 07:28:18 pm »
Scottish kids (the human kind) are back at school today and now its totally pouring rain, TOTALLY.  Never mind kids are cosy watching a Spy Kids dvd.  Could have done with them being off for another 3 weeks though to try and catch some sun  :raining:

Next Thursday for ours (dumfries and galloway), but what a horrible summer for them. I feel for them.  We haven't really done much. i had plans to go lots of time to the beach but no chance. It certainly has been a long drawn out summer or should I say a long few weeks having them at home

Amazing how when you turn up at the school gate certain kids have grown about a foot taller over the summer hols, and then you look at your own and they have too - all that rain and the occasional hour of sun has done something - new uniforms again!  :excited:

I remember that.  I used to send my boys to school in trousers that fitted and, by the time they got home, they'd grown out of them.  ;D

bit sad they are going back to school (tues) husband has really enjoyed having helpers now that they are big enough to do proper jobs (8 & 10) but i dont think it will be long before they will be asking for payment, this year they have paid in ice creams!

Yup, ours are 8.5 and 11 years old, so just a bit older than yours and they have sussed the payment for jobs scheme, so no, you don't have long to wait.  :huff:
