Home For A Holiday

We’re home.

And I need a holiday!

To get over our holiday!

A full-on week with extended family followed by a week of travelling back and forth for swimming lessons (yeah, we stayed at the beach but our kids did Vacswim at the pool in town). Next year we’ve decided to stay at home for the week of swimming lessons. Farmboy may as well get some work done while I’m travelling back and forth and we can have a weeks break (or even a few days) a little later in the holidays (so goes the plan anyhow).

Topped off with a sleep-over for Singstar Princesses 8th birthday.

We had lots of fun swimming and fishing and staying up half the night talking (and trying to get a room of 5 cousins asleep at a decent hour!).

But in a way I’m relieved to be home.

Or at least I will be when I get through the mound of unpacking, washing and sorting of Christmas gifts that needs doing.

Oh, and I guess I should take our Christmas tree down sometime. Undecided

And pack away the decorations for another year.

Is it just me or do the January school holidays tend to fly by?

Only 2 more weeks and the kids are back at school!!!! It’s unreal!

I can’t complain too much about the busy-ness of the past 2 weeks though. I managed to read my way through 6 novels in that time! Ahhh….bliss!!!! Smile

My apologies to those who were looking for Smiley Saturday on Saturday. We should be back to regular programming now (whatever that means around here) and look out for the return of Smiley Saturday this weekend.

    These holidays are going past WAY too fast. But they always do (for me). Great break had by all by the sounds of it!

    I don’t take away from home holidays. I prefer to hide out right here and tell no-one where I am.

    Glad you enjoyed your holiday. No holiday for us this year. Maybe next year though…
