Schools out for Summer....

IMG_6596

Finally after much anticipation....its summer.

On the way to school this morning for the last time the kids were singing that Alice Cooper song....

"School's out for summer;
School's out for-ever"


Oh, Mr Cooper you don't know how true your words are...or the words of whoever actually wrote that song.

This is our last official day of formal school. We have 10 lovely weeks of summer in front of us and then our homeschool adventure begins. So right now we are celebrating....and add to that a birthday. Ciara turns 12 today...on the last day of school. oh...and the picture is the view from her bedroom window this morning. Her friends in the neighborhood left her this lovely birthday surprise.

Happy Birthday Chicky!

    Happy birthday Ciara!!

  3. Ok how come we only get 6 weeks summer holidays and you get 10??

    I am off to complain to the Australian government!

    Do you get less holidays during the school year instead of like us 2 weeks off between each term?
