October 2010

We are now a couple of days into October, so how was September?  September had a lot of getting used to with Sami starting Junior K.  Uniforms are great, that's one less outfit to think of for the day, however, uniforms from Monday to Friday, that means laundry. Laundry is not my bestfriend.  I am talking about a Junior K here - it never fails that there is always something sticky (or crusty) somewhere - thank you for navy blue!  Laundry is not really so bad, it's the ironing that worried me - yes, past tense! (^-^)  I've established a routine when I did her uniforms; hang them up fresh out of the dryer and steam them and we're good to go.  I have never been so happy that I bought the steamer - thank you for small inventions.

Snack time remains to be a challenge every week.  Snacks should be peanut and peanut by-products free, yes, that includes her favourite Nutella.  Chips are a no, though Sami would be just fine with that.  One thing I don't have to worry about is her drink - all she wants is water!  All natural, pure and fresh - no preservatives - I hope.

October is an eventful month, I just received the monthly calendar.  October 8th, Samantha will be participating in the school's Terry Fox walkathon.  That should be interesting and fun to watch.  There's Show and Tell on the 25th and Halloween Party on the 29th.....more of that in the coming posts.
