Last few days update

Ok so on Sunday we went to Carols by Candlelight  - the first one i have ever been to and LOVED it... it was just on the oval behind our house, so just a 5 mintute stroll but the kids loved it - and so did Jonathan, amazing! He usually HATES things like that - i had one of those canvas chairs i took along and jonathan was having a go at me saying i can't belive you bought that,  can't believe youre taking it with us - blah blah blah... and of course i get the to find EVERYONE has one - even the kids.. i took a picnic blanket for the kids to sit on. So jonathan was standing there saying he wishes he did have one after all as he just had to stand up hahah told him!
He enjoyed it so much he even poped to the bottle-o and bought a 6 pack of beers! I was in shock, he sat there and ate a hotdog and drank his beers and i think he even smiled a couple times lol!!

So we said next yr we'd head to the Carols in Sydney - result!!

Kids LOVED the fireworks too.. first time they had ever seen them... so that was great.

Spent the rest of the weekend hanging around the pool and swimming and splashing about.. great fun.

Today we went to the library pantomime and the kids loved that too.  Miles even had his photo taken with Santa haha! Must confess to NOt being a fan of the whole Santa photo thing .. i have no idea why parents drag their kids to these shopping centres and stick them on Santas'knee when they are scared and they spend ages trying to distract them so they dont cry , just so they can get a photo!!! insane, its for the parents not for the kids and why the heck would you do that to yorur kid??? Just so you can show off your cheesy photo - that you scared your kid to get.. madness! and even worse when you dress your kid up to get the photo.. very very tacky.. Miles LOVES santa but just wants to stand a way away and wave at him.. never in a million years would i make him go sit on his knee - and i would never even consider it for Greta, she has no clue who the heck he is so whats the point in doing that.. just dont get it.

Ok so that was that really.

Tomorrow im off to work so the kids are going to their nanny, who is actually going to a Christmas party so is taking Miles and Greta along too so thats worked out well, they'll have a ball im sure and get to see Santa and get a gift each too - winner!

All for now, best go pack up their bags for the nanny tomorrow - i actually had to go buy a back for Greta as she didnt have one, so i got her a hot pink Barbie bag :)
