School started again finally, after a long summer break. Ruben started full time school and Joshua returned to school like nothing had happened! He is cycling to school and has rejoined the basketball team. It's a total miracle the way he has just recovered from cancer. The hats are a Queensland thing, I know it looks a bit Amish! I have no answers for the socks. If you had gone to school where I did, you would have got beaten up for socks like that! Caleb says school is awesome, so that has to be good and everyone else seems to be happy. Ruben has slight issues with having to wear socks and shoes, which are hot. He spent most of last year in bare feet! If you wondering why they are all wearing different uniforms, it's because Joshua and Bethany are wearing the boy/girl versions of the high school uniform, Caleb is wearing middle school uniform and Ruben goes to a different school.
Last Friday was Australia day and was pouring with rain. However, that didn't stop us going down to the esplanade for a free breakfast (I love Cairns council) and it didn't stop some people swimming, (Ruben and Caleb), in their clothes!! There was also a baby croc down there!
There was a lull in the otherwise very wet weather on Sunday, (it is the rainy season) so we headed for the beach for some chips and to get rid of some energy!! That is the ones with energy to spare in the first place!
