This is the last full week the kids have at school! Next week they only go Monday and Tuesday, then they are off school till begining of February.
Next year is going to be very different, with them being at different schools. Brylee at College and Griffin still at The Gardens School.
This could be great! They won't come home arguing all the time. BLISS is anticipated. *smiles*
Today: I am putting up the Christmas Tree. I had planned on doing it last night, but by the end of the day I just wanted to relax.
Putting the tree up takes some effort, and I just couldn't be bothered last night.
I also had to nut out where to put it, and how to keep it away from Dante.
Next...
Next...
THAT'S ALL for now!
I'm off to make a start on that freakin' Christmas Tree! No more procrastination.
Once it's up I am going to start wrapping presents too.
Bex and Dante are off to Playcentre, so it will be a quiet morning for me.
ONWARD...

Right, off to carry on with me day...
First step in putting the tree up? Untangle all the Chritstmas light wires.
And as Stew will happily attest, I GO MENTAL with tangled wires!
Seriously.
I pack a monumental shitty, swear my head off and usually throw them on the floor and walk away all hot and bothered.
Today was different! Darling (Stew) ... I DID IT! And I didn't even swear!!!
MOVING ON...
FREEDOM: sorry to say it, from Forlongs of Frankton (Hamilton), and they only have one store country wide.
I just went out and bought more net for the family room. I'm slowly going to do all the windows in the house.
It's been a busy afternoon, sewing up the net for the Family Room, getting dinner, giving puppies a run around, then dashing out to buy more Puppy food cos I forgot this morning!
End of Day: watching the telly then finishing off the net. Might even wrap a few Christmas presents too, instead of leaving that till the last minute like usual.
nite nite
Amazing pic of you and Keera!
ReplyDeleteHow many days do kids go to school there? Seems like they are always on vacation lol. Our kids have to go 180 days. Keera sure is getting big, she's beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLuv all the pics , Keera is a real lil cutie . Enjoy your day
ReplyDeleteHee hee - it actually wasn't me that asked about the dates. However, I just looked at your school schedule and it makes A LOT more sense than ours. It looks like your kids get 4 "shortish" breaks. Ours get ONE giant three month break during which they promptly lose 90% of their knowledge gained from the year before, then the first 1/4 of the new school year is spent "relearning" it. I would much rather have your schedule - it would also allow more time for families to take a little vacation together, at different times throughout the year.
ReplyDeleteThe kids must be so excited for summer to begin. Wheee!
ReplyDeleteWhere did you get your screen from please Chris ???
ReplyDeleteLove the family shot of Steve Bec and Dante
