Christmas came and went in a blur of wrapping paper and tinsel and now we are enjoying the school holidays. We have been spending a lot of time at the local pools where the kids have had 2 weeks of swimming lessons. Their lessons go for 45 minutes and then we stay and have a swim together. The kids have been having a great time and they are doing so well with their lessons.

We have also been getting everything ready for the beginning of the school year. New uniforms, shoes, bags, pencils, books etc. It’s an expensive and exhausting exercise but lots of fun. I love the back to school preparation.

Riley is starting Preschool again on Friday. He started last June after he turned 3 but he wasn’t ready for it and I didn’t want to push him. I’m hoping that this time it will be different and he’ll settle in easily. I’m expecting some tears when I leave him, but fingers crossed they won’t last for long.

I’ve been concentrating on spending time with the kids during the holidays so I’ve let most of the memes that I usually participate in slip, but when the kids go back to school at the end of January I will be back in full force :)

See you then!
