Now it's holiday....

Today was last day of school. Today was don't-come-to-school-until-10am. Today we nearly got to school late for the first time. We slept in a bit and we had tea, bread and fruit in front of the tv. We didn't get dressed right away and we therefore ended up rushing a bit. Typically when you have loads of time you nearly run late.
Ah well, we made it in time. There were singing and the nativity play then the handing over presents to their teachers. There were the Happy Christmas' and the Goodbuy's and the see-you-soon's to do before we headed home.

Now we have two weeks off before school start again.

And now it's nearly Christmas.....

The time go so fast and we're so busy - fun and nice busy but never the less very busy! Saturday we went to Flensborg in Germany to enjoy their Christmas Spirit. It was lovely and very Christmassy both inside and outside.

Nana has been and gone bringing a massive suitcase with presents. The schoolparty with the princess performing has been and gone. Yesterday the princess sang with 300 other 9-10 year olds at a big Christmas concert. Today it's Christmas fun at gymnastics and Friday it's the last day then holiday! YEAH!!!
The Christmas tree arrived Saturday morning, delivered by our fairy who sits in the top, and the princess and little man have decorated it.

This year we're spending christmas in Denmark so all the shenanigans are happening on the 24th at night. We do though have our own little Christmas again on the 25th were we open all the presents from the English lot.

We are all very much looking forward to Christmas and can't wait to relax and watch Christmas films.

Are you looking forward to Christmas? 

 

Halloween.

The little man had a friend here last night for a Halloween sleepover. The princess was a friend's house for a sleepover so it was just the 2 boys who went Trick and Treating.
They came back with their bags filed completely up and could hardly eat the ghost cookie the daddy and pricess had made.

Have you had a wicked Halloween?

Book 22 and 28 to go!

Just finished this book. It was billiant and a very easy read. It reminded me about when I had just had the princess and we spent our days going to different playgroups etc. I was never a yummy mummy but I met a few around the playgroups in Crouch End.
This was my book no. 2 this year. I agreed to do the #50booksin2015 but I don't think I'll get there in time. Looks more like I'll get to #25booksin2015.
My borther in law and his lovely wife are coming to visit from England tomorrow and staying for a few days. They're bringing some books for me. Yeah!!

Do you read? Can you recommend me any books?

Relaxing with a cup of tea.

Yesterday it was back to school so no time for tv and a nice cup of tea in the morning. The picture is from Wednesday morning last week when it was half term.
Both the princess and the little man were looking forward to going back to school though. They both love school and had missed their friends. Also they the princess was off to see the musical Chicago with her dancegroup last night. It's one of the teachers from the dance/drama/sing company where she dances that was directing the musical. All the kids got to go backstage and then see the dress rehearsel afterwards. She was home late for a school night but it very rarely happens so we agreed it was okay. She's promised to not be moody this morning and she did keep her promise. She's up, dressed and eating her cereal.

Oooh, I finished my 22nd book this year. I'll make that a post for tomorrow or Thursday. It's a good book.

Have you had a good weekend?

Oops, I did it again.

Forgot to blog. Sorry, I know you missed me a lot and I will try and be better in then future. This week it has been half term in Denmark. We've enjoyed the time off trying not to do too much. The daddy had Monday and Tuesday off too and we all had some lovely days relaxing.
Now half term is nearly over and Monday it's back to school. Today we went Halloween shopping just the kids and I. The little man also bought himself a game for the X-Box. He had saved up and handed over a lot of coins to the lady behind the counter. It took a while to for her to count but it was all there.

I will try and be better to write here so don't give up me just yet.
