big week in the kaye hosehold

first I had a wedding expo on sunday that was long, hot, exhausting and so so so much fun! I loved meeting all the new brides to be, hearing about thir plans and details and generally chatting the day away. I could have done with an IV drip of coke (coca cola that is) and some air conditioning but otherwise I had a fab day and I am very grateful for my gorgeous friend Brigette for coming to help me and talk me up. Some photos of my both (not my best work..it was a cramped space and I didn't have a wide angle with me..but you get the point)

then monday, this little chicken started BIG school. Check out how excited she is..

she breezed into that classroom without a care in the world. I, on the other hand, could feel my heart beating and tried very very hard to stop the trickle of tears that escaped from my eyes. It was like a slap in the face how big she got and how quickly this happened. The worst part...when Lucy left she gave him one of her toys to Jack to look after for the day and a big hug telling him she was going to miss him. He told her he was going to miss her too, then he turned to me and  asked me who he was going to play with for the day. My heart burst with pride and shattered into a million tiny pieces all at once. And apparantly the answer of "mummy" didn't really cut it. Lucky I have a wonderful friend who let me borrow her kid for the day. The boys had a blast and lucy wasn't mentioned once. Oh, i need to show you the hat.. . check it out. It was the smallest size they have. she will be wearing that bad boy in college. she does have a pin head but really!LOL! 

I still have to share my last few photos of January but my crack at photo a day for january is over. I had the best intentions and managed it but generally life got in the way. I could never do it for a year..i have no stamina! LOL! literally and rhetorically.

Speaking of which, I am totally shattered. I have that hazy head feeling when you have gone 3 steps past overtired. It is still early for me but maybe my out of whack body clock is trying to tell me something. Plus I have got to get up early to iron uniforms and make lunches (who would have thought..I am surprising myself!)

How gorgeous does Lucy look in her school uniform, & that hat?! And you can feel the excitement!! She SO looks the part! Well done Mum, for not being TOO traumatised! A wonderful moment, captured in great photos.

There is nothing cuter than a crisp new school uniform dressing up a smiling little face! I am glad it all went well!
