Growing

Today DD1 "graduated" from kindergarten. She performed in a small Christmas concert and had a party to celebrate the year at kinder. What an amazing transformation from the shy little girl of 12 months ago. No longer trying to disappear in the group so no-one would look at her, she was brimming with confidence. Her smile said it all. What a beautiful day.

Holidays

We put the van up on the weekend and the kids spent nearly two days playing in there. They're also busy imagining what we'll be doing and where we're going as well.

Birthday smiles

He has spent the entire day building new Indiana Jones creations. I have even had to remind him to eat breakfast and lunch (unheard of).

Why do I always wonder what to buy for him. Legos win hands down every time.

Home Sweet Home

The wind is howling outside. It's freezing and the rain is coming in sideways. The kids and I are still in our snuggly jammies. The house is warm. We don't need to be anywhere today. Lovely, lazy holidays.
