Back to School

The kids went back to school yesterday. It was shitty weather and I really didnt want to send them but have to if you dont want the truancy officer on your door. Its a bit more scary for me at the moment as there is a new strain of flu going on here that has killed 4 kids to date. Only 3 of them had flu like symptoms but thats still 3 too many to me, so most of my kids were out of uniform as I made sure they were rugged up to the max. There was a bit of whining and protesting but I didnt care. Its amazing how scared you get when you have children, even about the little things. Jasper is at daycare. It was so cool this morning. Dave woke me up about 6:30 (it was the first time I had slept in since he had been dropping Jas off oops) and this time Jas gave me a big grin and practically jumped into my arms. As Ive mentioned before, hes usually quiet in the morning but not today. He then proceeded to follow me around the house, chatting away to me as I woke my children up from their slumbers and started the morning chores. I didnt really want to take him to daycare but if I didnt, Dave would have been paying for it anyway. Now the house is quiet as Ethan just bums around and the sound of Jaspers giggles and chatter arent here :(
Andrew cant wait untill his sister gets back as he thinks Im coping too well with 6 kids and doesnt want me getting any ideas now that I dont have a baby anymore. But I reassure him that thats not going to happen. I always have extra kids around but it is all the more appealing because they get to go home at the end lol.
Anyway, my camera shit itself yesterday so no new photos untill I can get a new one.
