Back to School. . . 2011

The new school year has started and I have 5 brand new 4 to 5 year olds.....  so far no tears (and that's just me). Can't get over how little they look each year. My class of last year have got so big in the last two months..it's lovely they still want to give me a hug and kiss in the morning..(they're not that big, yet - some of them would like to stay with me and paint all day and play games)... Have also had visits from the big kids who have now gone onto secondary school...It's great seeing them all excited to be at BIG SCHOOL....

So in honour of the the new school year I just had to sketch the playground with the new wall art and one of the hopscotches that I painted on the ground.... the kids are loving the new games..... have a great week everyone....

Really cute drawing above, the one on the below post at top looks so much like my bossy, red headed, nearly 4 year old.....and you have captured her perfectly somehow!
