My last day with my son before he starts school



I have spent today with my son.  And wife.  Normally on a Wednesday, I go into work to catch up with paperwork, but today is the last day I will have with my son before he goes to school.  My daughter has already started in her new class yesterday and enjoyed the day, other than falling in the playground when she was accidentally pushed when balancing.  I got into trouble with my wife as I told her that her teacher was a witch who had previously turned a child into a frog for being too naughty.  I think she realises that I am not telling the truth, but it is fun making up stories.

Two years ago when she started at school, I was the moody one.  Today both my wife and I were sad.  I do not know how she is going to be, but I know that I am going to be sad.  As I have said before to my wife, they are only with us on loan, not my comment, but one that I was told by a midwife that I used to work with (and a damm good one).  They drive me mad at times, they drive each other mad at times, and there are many times I wonder how I survived to reach adulthood considering that although they play up at times, they really are good kids.  Whereas I did cruel and evil things like get the cat to run up my brothers leg (something I have to say I am still proud of).  At the moment, while I am typing this they are playing shops together.  As I have stated before, they are angels.  Though at times they forget that.

Anyway time to go so I can spend more precious time with them.  The top picture is one that I have taken from this post on the internet.  I hope some of you take time to read it.
