The kids have been back at school a week now and all is going well. In fact for me it is just pure bliss. Sorry to sound like a bad mummy but after having the kids home for the long hot summer I am selfish enough to say that having a little peace in the morning is a wonderful thing.
It is only 8 weeks until Bubba 4 joins us so I am really trying to make the most of the next 8 weeks cramming as much sewing, errands, and odd jobs in as possible.
Back to the munchkins though …
Laith is in Grade 3 and loving it already. Lulu is in EC2 and Sami in EC1. There was a mad dash (in fact it was just desperate all out war) to get him toilet trained by the 23rd August and I am relieved to say that we made it … just ;-) He and Lulu are next door to each other and just love it, they can not wait to get into their classrooms in the morning in fact I need to remind them to say bye and give their Mumma a kiss!
Laith’s pencil case zip broke the first morning and I figured it was about time I got sewing again so I made him one.
It has cotton outer, lined with PUL so the pens won’t bleed etc in case a cap falls off. And I made a center panel with the two cotton pieces and some off cut batting. I quilted it to give it a little stability too. Finally a little bit of appliqué on the front so it won’t get lost. 
On my return from holidays my laptop died a messy death due to a nasty virus that my anti-virus program did not catch. Anyway she has been at the Laptop Spa and got an upgrade to Windows 7 (TG Vista is now history I had no end of trouble with it), a new Internet Security program and finished off her treatment with a brand spanking new battery (why the old one dies after just 16 months is anyone's guess - %$#@ throw away society we live in grrrr). So lets hope that she is now feeling like a new gal and ready to take on the world ;-) I have spent the day reloading all my programs, very exciting stuff hey??(not).
Thanks for stopping by …
