School Uniforms and such......

We had another crazy night last night-so tonight we're trying a bit of benedryl to help us sleep at the right times. that said, things continue to go well. i was VERY tired today, mayble because of lack of sleep the last couple of days. oh well. on to the big news: We went today to get E's school uniform. He's not fond of the idea that he'll have to wear one, but i thought it was something right out of a Harry Potter/Noel Strattfield book. We went to the uniform shop which was on the second floor of the building and they had EVERYTHING with the school logo on it. I had planned to get 5 of everything so that i'd only have to do wash on weekends, but margaret and the shop assistand talked me out of it. that would never happen in the states-they'd try to tell me i needed more than i would. so, we now have two greenisland primary sweatshirts, three green polos, two pair of trousers, four pair of socks, and the cutest backpack with the school crest as well as the school coat. pjxxiii are you all listening to the cool stuff they have here? next we were on to clarks for shoes where we got some school shoes with footballs on them (soccer balls) and a pair of plimsoles (slip on gym sneakers). the only things we need now are a pe kit bag and a pe kit (UNIFORM). See, everything here has a uniform :). we had lunch at th emall at KFC and then on home. i'm exhausted by all of this. we're going to try to take the bus into town to do some shopping tomorrow: pe bag, kit, and word tin. i still cant' post pix, but allen, margaret's dh is coming by soon to help with that.#
hugs from here!
