Beginning of the end

It's the last night of the school holidays.  My kids have to go to bed at a reasonable hour and get up at an unreasonable one tomorrow.  I have to work the crossing.  And make an appointment to see second sons's new teacher.  And get into the whole daily routine again.  Lunchboxes,  band practice,  swimming kit.   Bus passes and permission slips.   Uniforms and detention slips (hopefully not too many this year, heehee)  Assignments and report cards.   Counting the days till Easter.......
