The New School Year is here

[Daisy]

Just how many arms have you got Daisy? All you needed was the cabbage. Can you remember the game show from years back? 😉 (Crackerjack!)

I've got it here somewhere, Nana ....

[Nana]

Everything but Daisy! Ha.

[Daisy]

Nooooo, I'm sure I've got a cabbage or two tucked away behind the marrow!

Rucksack at the ready next week Daisy

I think I must be a mean Grandma! If I have only GD I carry some of her stuff, but not all. If I have 2 year old GS to look after she has to carry it all, as I need all my attention on looking after him.
I don't carry all GS1's stuff either.
Thinking back neither did I when I had my own children,. I watched kids piling everything on their mums as they came out of school and thought, I'm not having that!! I help them of course if they have a lot, but I am not a pack horse!

Reading all these posts takes me back but I only met the girls when they had moved in here and the village schools were very close, in fact the middle school is at the end of our road.

Lol Daisy I would say welcome to my world but you were here before me, I took a coat myself with pockets as little extra storage,
Gem I have to have all hands free don’t trust two four year olds not to start running and either falling or running into the road, it will get easier at some point , except when it’s rain and the kids go in Wellies but take shoes for inside , then 2 pr of wellies must remember to put a carrier in my bag 👵

Qwerty - it's cosy in our world, isn't it - until pick up time!!!

I need at least one hand free for GD2. Their schools are at a busy junction with only a narrow pavement, and then there are three roads and several businesses like tyre places and a repair garage where cars and vans are coming and going all the time. She's quite good, but until she's very good I shall hang on to her! If I let her carry her things she won't have a hand free for me to hold, and it's not a good look, hanging o to the scruff of her neck!

But, Gem, in principle, I agree - your stuff, you carry it! I don't remember my boys having all this stuff to carry home every day.

Qwerty - a good idea to have a 'wellie bag'!
