What a week! & Freds First Day at School

So after such a relaxed summer holidays, i spent Saturday labeling the uniform and taking up the hems on Freds trousers and generally making sure everything was good to go on Monday morning. It was great till Molly started being sick and had to spend the rest of the day on the couch. Sunday rolls around and Fred and Ewan are sick and up all night being sick. Ewan wanted to go into school, which normally i would have not allowed but he really wanted to go so he could pick his seat in class and on the other hand at least the teachers wouldn't think we were sneaking a few days extra holiday somewhere. But poor Fred was not good at all and had to miss his first ever day of school!  To be honest i am sure he didn't mind as when the next day came and he was well he really kicked up a fuss at the gate and we had to take him into the class room and  the teacher hold him while we left. We decided as Paul had taken a couple of days off that we would go out for lunch...on our own...!!!! My mum watched Alex for us. What a nice change and so strange to be out alone, it just never happens. So we spent a couple of hours relaxing and when Fred came out of school he was really happy and had clearly enjoyed it. But a few hours later both Paul and i were both really ill and sick,i put it down to a bug maybe but Paul is convinced it was the food and i think he might be right, so the next few days were hard, going back and forth to school as Fred is only doing afternoons this week, when we were both so weak and ill. Fred put up a bit less resistance each day and today Friday he ran in!!! The thing he most enjoys is carrying the milk tray!

So here he is at Nannas Before he went and at School with Daddy.

And of course Molly & Ewan
