School holiday magic

For the first time in my kids kindy/school lives I nearly cried when I dropped them off on their first day back this term.  It was hideous!

O.k. so I think I was in the throws of a mid-mid-thirties crisis at the time, but we had also just enjoyed 2 weeks holiday - no routine, movie days, new activities and Mr W took pretty much the whole second week off work!

I struggle big time, to understand parents who moan about the holidays, or break out in a cold sweat.  If I'm organised I love them.  To be organised I plan a list of things to do.

Here's what we did this time round;

Catch up with Crazy 1's kindy friends
Family fun at Nan and Pops farm with the cuzzies
Library books (including Crazy 1's first chapter book - he was pretty stoked!)
Movie day
Mum in bed for 2 days with Laryngitis - O.k. for me this wasn't fun, but the boys thought it was great as I couldn't yell at them!!
Stone throwing at the beach
Playgrounds
Picnic lunches
Changing rooms
Visiting more cuzzies and getting 'WAY COOL' soccer shirts
Fishing off the wharf
Two nights at Nan and Pops


So stoked


Great Grandad passing on his fishing wisdom

Being towed around the farm

Figuring out better ways to sleep
