Firstly, thanks to the lovely Tanya, Pauline, Michelle and Katie for completing my tag. Katie now has her own blog so I'll be visiting that one too!!
Now that Australia has won the Ashes, Michael has been busily doing all those "delightful" maintenance bits around the house. He's very vocal about his mistakes but thankfully he now says them much more softly so the boys can't hear...only me (it's the spooky teacher hearing thing!!)
Michael is back to work on Monday and this year will be very busy with lots of traveling in the works, and the word is we may be able to join him to the U.S. later. Yay, haven't been since 1992 so need to catch up on friends past (Michele in SF, you know who you are) and if time permits go all the way to Alicia, Jess and Erica. But we'll see.
Rainer is back at C&K on Mondays and Tuesdays with SEDU on Wednesdays still (but not til Feb). No word from AEIOU about the intake for this year....so, we wait. At least I had a Plan B if he didn't get in January's intake, I would image a lot of families just crossed their fingers.
Have been organising playdates for Mackinley this week before he starts Grade 1 (YAY) and we might have the chance to go to the museum again soon. Looking forward to that. He's very excited about choosing the contact for his books!! He wants Star Wars but if that's going to break the budget, we might just go for the book plates instead.
Can't bring myself to scrap again this week. Just trying to get the family back into a routine again which is really important for Rainer and my sanity (read "control freak" here) and the house cleaned and all the CRAP (and there's a lot of it) in the bin.
Waiting patiently for the exciting news to be made public at Scrapbook City.....I've been offered many bribes but no chance!! If you read this and haven't signed up to the forum, do it now and get yourself acquainted with the layout of things before it goes ballistic!!!
Won't be long now and then I'll be busy again!!! Feel the strange need to paint...don't know whether it's the canvas kind or the wall kind.
Just paint everything. That what I do every room in my house is a different colour, and I mean EVERY ROOM!! Definatly will be going to the Museum. Tristan is very excited about it.
ReplyDeleteTalk soon.
Tanya
I know where you are coming from girl. School holidays are nice for a few weeks but then you just want to get into a routine and get everything back to normal. Just quietly, mine are FIGHTING LIKE CATS AND DOGS!! No I did not yell that - much! As for covering books - trying not to think about it!
ReplyDeleteYou can come and paint my house if you're feeling the urge to paint???!!?! No??!?!
ReplyDeleteHi Gigi, we are renovating at the moment, and my DH Michael, has been a little vocal as well LOL !! getting ready for school, wow, it will be very exciting.
ReplyDeleteIt would be lovely to go to the US we went 2 years ago and had a blast, I hope you get to meet Alicia, that would be wonderful.
Love your brag folio, on the last post, excellent idea.
Have a great week.
Best Wishes
Carole.
