Kid #1 is graduating primary school. We managed something that neither of us had: same school/friends from prep all the way to finishing primary school. Even better: 2/3 of his closest friends are going to high school with him.

Eldest Minipeeler has high school orientation today! He is so excited for it and his graduation wipes away find happy/sad tear

Ok, that was a much bigger deal than I expected it to be. I thought it'd be like a school assembly "Hey these kids are leaving" and be done in an hour. Not so, we had awards and a little blurb on every child: Which High School they're going to and their hoped for carreers.

An alarming number of these children dream of being YouTube stars.
