To got onto this site, or any for that matter, my laptop is having a benny, i've no idea why (hmmm, perhaps too English a phrase - ' to have a 'benny' means to throw a tantrum btw)..
It takes more than an hour to open a website.. then it wont load the photo's.. i have some from this past week i wanted to upload, see how i go.
My iPhone is also being weird and wont open stuff at all or hangs for an eternity.. not sure whats going on, need to get the Hubby to check it out for me i think.
Well 4 days till my princess turns 2 ARGHHHHH.. how time flies.... when you have a stroppy little madam to deal with lol.. gosh no, the world would be so less funny (if thats even correct English??) without her and i reckon we all need a little feisty pants in our life - my little firecracker :)
No plans, just cake and a little tea party at home. i know Miles had the party with his friends and also a trip to the zoo with his friends but i recall when he was 2 yrs old and i took him to the park with his friends and he cried and just wanted it to be the 2 of us there and was only happy when the others had gone home - so i thought im not making that same mistake again.. now at 4yrs he really does love hanging out with his friends but not untill about this last birthday really.. so just gonna do the small family thing this year and probably next too.
She's kinda born in the school hols too so every year she gets to miss out on the cake at Playgroup and Pre-school when she starts too.. poor luv.
So anyway, yesterday i wrote down a plan of fun things to do in the school holidays to entertain the kids - i know neither go to shcool yet but we have lots of activities that occupy us like Playgroup and story time etc so i thought id have a scout around and see whats on for free to entertain them and found some cool stuff so yesterday i sat and wrote a list of fun things for this week..
So far we have had:
Monday: boring stay home day as we had some one come over around lunch time so couldnt go out.
Tuesday: Drove up the Terrigal and had a cupcake and a play on the beach..
Wednesday: we did the food shop - boring for kids i know, but i then took them to IKEA (Miles LOVES Ikea) for a wander around the kids section and then for meatballs and mash potatoes - yummmm. then down to the little play area there that they both love.
Thursday: We are going up to the shopping centre as they have an Alice in Wonderland Maze .. looks like great fun, you can wander through the maze they have made and chat to the mad hatter etc..
Then baking some biccies in the afternoon.
Friday: the local shops have a craft day with free arts and crafts for the kids, making maracas i think it is... plus a free little toy, so they can both have a go with that and get a little toy each.
Then come home and ive got a little craft idea for home... a little hand puppet i want to have a go of making i saw on a craft website.
Saturday is baking Greta's birthday cake and Sunday is the birthday girls day...
then next week, no plans as yet but i want a trip to the Museum in Sydney, it was so cheap last time and both kids loved it.. they also enjoy going into the city on the train and seeing Daddy for a quick cuddle.
Have a few more home craft/paiting ideas and also a trip to the kids theatre, with a couple of neighbours and their kids, that should be good fun.. also wanted to go see the Gruffalo at the Opera house and we have tickets for justine Clarke for next weekend.. so quite a bit to entertain us and also a trip to the beach.
Its kinda nice having this spare time with no activities on as we can do lots of other fun stuff like the museums and the beach that we run out of time to do during the school term.
Ok thats about all. Have to go and unpack the shopping, its still all in bags..
Oh in other news, i started doing a bit of walking about 3 weeks ago, just too and from Playgroup and too and from Pre-school and stopped eating as much as i was and i've lost 5.5kg's in 3 weeks :) so so happy with that i feel so much lighter - a heap more to go but its a great start :)
