A couple of weeks ago I took a huge breath in and prepared for the manic last weeks of school. One child finished school on Wednesday and one finishes next Wednesday but given that the last three days of school consist of packing up books, holding a 'talent day' and going to the park I consider it to be more akin to babysitting than school.
This last week has been particularly manic with performance reviews due at the office, speech night for the youngest, concert band performing at the local carols evening, presentation assembly for the eldest and then her clarinet exam today.
On Wednesday night my 9yo was given the above award at his speech night. Its held in a local church with a long aisle and plenty of room for all parents. PL had to walk the length of the aisle to receive this well deserved award.
Blossom was inducted as a school prefect for 2010 at her presentation day yesterday. We learnt that the school will increase to 750 students next year. When Blossom started in 2004 the school had 500 students.

It has been a long week and I look forward to a sleep-in tomorrow...

Well deserved, I am very sure...
fantastic achievement all round!
Well done to your very clever two!
I do remember that end-of-school-year frenzy. (It's SO nice to have older kids (even though I miss their being little — if you understand my split personality!)
Delete one of those opening brackets ... either will work.
Yay! yay! and yay! (Did that cover everything off?)
Fabulocity all round.
Congratulations to both of your children (and of course a big pat on the back for their parents) :)
