Winter Holidays 2014

We've just clocked up two weeks of the 3 week break and boy o boy its been full….full of words. See, one of my 4 is a details man. If you ask a short question you generally get a thesis + the weather and what he wants for lunch in reply, so I never ask anything when I'm in a rush. Infact I generally like to have a cuppa brewed for the occasion, and I've learnt never to ask about the book he is reading NEVER.

So, other than that tricky bit of info….now I'm realising he is just like me (ouch, the truth just kicked me in the guts)…so to other news.

We haven't done a hell of a lot because my amazing bread winner is winning bread, so its just been day trips here and there, friends and cousin time.

 …and no I didn't say "Peace me, pose and caress Repunzel", all I said was 'look this way'.

 We went to an AFL game, Bear was not convinced, straight back to rugby.

I attempted one painting these hols, but the boys have all but completely taken over the studio with their cousins for sleep-overs and ghost stories. 

 I got a day respite from this cute fella when Pop took him to the shops….this is what they got up to.

Ummm….not sure what to caption this with.

'special child likes to read upside down on kids car' ?!?!

 Lazy afternoons knitting in front of Nana's fire with the sun streaming through the windows. 

(A whole post on my first ever knitting project coming up soon)

Today we went to the movies and then I braved Woolies and Aldi with 4 kids.  One and a half trollies later and I was ready to book myself in to an institution. Don't do it. I always think that it will never be as bad as last time, but it's worse cos you beat yourself up that you did it again.
I suppose it didn't help that I had given the big boys a cooking challenge. They had $30 to plan and cook a meal for the family, but a lot of rubbish seemed to slip into the trolley too. (another post on the Masterchef cook off coming soon too)

On top of that we caught the obligatory holiday vomit bug and next week…..lots of nothing. I'm expecting the worst, praying for the best.

Hope your hols have been fun.

Much Love
