Back to School!

So today was the girls first day back (full-time) at school since late March...

And what better way to celebrate their return than by remembering their school photos!  Sadly this year we don't get to enjoy a sibling photo, with 2019 being the last year (for now) that the kid are together at school...

Continuing the tradition of previous years (well, once in 2016 and again in 2019) I've included a bit of a timelapse of previous years here: 2012-2016 and 2017-2019.

The end of lockdown...

As the kids get ready to return to school tomorrow, after 9 or so weeks at home, we thought we'd capture a couple of highlights from the last few weeks (as there was also a whole lot of the same during this period (not necessarily in order).

We celebrated Mother's Day in isolation...which meant we celebrated the way we did everything else this period... with a bush walk (cue groan from mum and girls)



 We ate A LOT of sourdough... including a weird green one!


We enjoyed a lot of couch time...especially as the nights have been getting a bit colder.... Mum and I like this time of year as the girls are more willing to cuddle up on the couch!


Claire was starting to really feel the cold...even when walking (which we did a lot of!)

 The girls did assignments at home... including a couple of video'd speeches and presentations.  They got used to 'having meetings' for school...


We had Rosie stay with us for a day...boy Spud was happy to see her again!




And in case I didn't mention it before...we walked... A LOT!

 And then...just as life was going back to normal... it was time for Spud to have a haircut, and apparently he was just a little (a lot) matted so needed a close shave... our precious pup is now a freezing pup!
