Getting ready for school - 2011

Another two weeks to go before the new school year begins in NSW. We're almost ready...

• Stationery  - check
• Uniforms - ironed and labelled - check
• Books - labelled and covered - half-check (still waiting for a few of Ashleigh's books on back-order)
• Black school shoes- check
• Sport shoes - check
• White and sports socks - check
• Lunchboxes - check
• Drink bottles - check

The girls will need a visit to the hairdresser the weekend before school starts. Oh yes, a visit to the podiatrist to collect Ashleigh's new orthotics, and then we may need to exchange the black shoes for a slightly larger size. We were lucky to buy the black and sport shoes when they were on discount. Hope Caitlin's shoes will last the whole school year, like Ashleigh's.

I taught Ashleigh how to cover her own text books with contact paper. She did a great job and was a big relief for me not to cover another set (wipe brow!)

I think we're nearly there.
