What we’ve learned so far #BackToSchool #WotSoFunny

September 24, 2013 by admin 16 Comments

I know it seems a little late for a back to school post, we are in week 4 after all, but with S not starting till week 2 and then a few half days and H being poorly, life has been a little crazy. I had planned on being all organised what with having 2 children at school, you know when you lay uniform out the night before and have packed lunches already made. As it turns out none of that actually makes a difference in our house.

So, what I have learned so far this term.

  • Even if you buy more school socks than you think you’ll ever need, plus a pack of ’emergency’ socks you’ll still run out.
  • It is entirely possible for a child to get all the way to school without you noticing either the toothpaste all over their face or the fact that they are wearing one long and one short sock.
  • Girls shoes do not help keep white socks clean. Why on earth would anyone think to make strappy girls school shoes?
  • My daughter can leave school missing at least one item of clothing on a daily basis.
  • A beautiful junk modelled treasure chest is the perfect way to bring home almost the entire class collection of craft buttons, the same goes for beads.
  • I can’t rely on my 6 year old to remind me when mufti day is.
  • If I put biscuits in a packed lunch the banana comes home.
  • I have very little patience at 835am when children refuse to wear coats/jumpers/shoes.

How’s school going for you?

    It’s putting shoes on in the morning that finishes me off – they are never where they’re supposed to be, and certainly never in pairs…! #wotsofunee

    Really?? I rely on my children to remind me of everything – eeek!
    I hate uniform at the moment, in a school where they can only wear one particular shirt available from just one local shop they had my daughter’s class drawing with oil pastels and no aprons!! xx

      Your children must be much more reliable than mine!

    Haha… I have mainly learned that there is little hope for my two with my organisational skills! 😀

    All that. (Except Mufti day – what on earth is that??)
    I used to groan at drop off when I saw a mum hand over a big bag of cereal boxes and loo rolls. I knew that would ALL be coming home with me later 🙂

      I don’t know how they do it. Especially the mums. I look ok for pick up, but not for drop off 😉

    I am totally with you on the socks – and indeed the same applies to pants in this house too!
    I would add – it doesn’t matter how much time you allow for children to put their school shoes on you always need to at least double it!

    Haha how true on the sock front! Yep pretty much the same – and how many trees were harmed in children’s school letters – how can they have so much to tell you about?!
