I thought I was so prepared for the first day back at school. I had washed, combed and cut their hair, I had let down a dress hem, I had baked banana bread, I knew where their hats and bags were but somehow I had forgotten the school shoes.One pair were far too small and the other pair have disappeared off the face of the earth.
So no photos of nice, clean school shoes this morning, just a bit of first day back at school, parent sponsored rebellion.
Let's hope this is a happy, productive and satisfying school year for all of our kids.
There's still a bit of time left to bid on the bunny. All proceeds go to the Haiti relief effort.Pop on over to Vic's place to check out some more shoes, the theme chosen by this week's theme queen Gypsy.
love, love, love that this is your shoes post, how super cool are you!
ReplyDeletehave a great week lovely
♥
Dont worry, we forgot pencils!
ReplyDeleteHow much is a Mum supposed to remember, especially after the holidays when wine o'clock falls early every day!
Don't worry, similar drama here, bought 6yo new shoes and 2yo has pulled out and hidden the laces so 6yo in sneakers too today.
ReplyDeleteAhh...shoes. So much fun! ROFL! Hope the morning went smoothly regardless, it was pretty good here as all were ready, with hats on, at 7.30! Probably won't be like that tomorrrow. Hope you're enjoying this beautiful sunny day, wasn't that rain amazing? Lets chat soon xo
ReplyDeleteWell the little one has the cutest little sandals I've seen for quite some time so perhaps people will not notice the others ones?
ReplyDeleteSweet, sweet photos! Hope the kids had a great day x
ReplyDelete*giggling* Love it! I am just as bad. I haven't bought half the text books...
ReplyDeleteI never could understand how having shiny, boring school shoes made my kids cleverer!!

the day before school went back i looked at louis feet and asked him "do you still fit your school shoes?". he hadn't worn them all summer and we had bought them at the start of last year. luckily for us, my sister was able to take us out shopping for some - because watching louis trying to put them on was like watching the ugly step sister with the glass slipper - there was no way that shoe was going to fit!!!
ReplyDeletelove your shoe photos - hope your troupe are enjoying being back - mine apparently aren't!

I remember walking back from school in tears when my youngest started. It's a big time for everyone isn't it?
ReplyDeletecute ... cool shoes for school ... beats the old boring black ones
ReplyDeleteOh how funny! I do love all 3 pairs though, very school appropriate in my opinion :)
ReplyDeleteI have the exact same pair of shoes for Busy - the little red ones which she refuses to wear! they are cute and I love red shoes.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Much funner than boring old black shoes :)
ReplyDeleteHey you won a lil skirt on my blog, but I've been moving and slack and stuff. Let me kow your particulars so I can send it your way!

Ha! How gorgeous. Seems the year for back to school shoe dilemmas. Love those little toes itching to go in the red sandals!
ReplyDeleteOld lovely connies, how can you go wrong with connies? x
ReplyDeleteI'm sure they didn't miss their school shoes at all - I hope they didn't get into any trouble!
ReplyDeleteThey are absoloutely, undobtedly and unashamedly, the BEST, coolest, most perfect school shoes ever.
ReplyDeleteThey are just what I would have wanted... 'cept my laces were never long enough to tie around like that (...yes... laces weren't long enough... not ankles not small enough...).
Is there any cooler rebellion that 'parent sponsored rebellion'...??!!
ReplyDeleteSo no fancy school shoes. Doesn't matter, they've got banana bread!!
You made me smile Kate... at what you remembered and what you didn't.
