School Holidays

Posted on

I love the school holidays – no rushing in the morning or waking up babies in the afternoon to do a school pickup. I also love that they can go to Nanna and Pa’s mid week for a sleep over – YAY!

So, day 2 of the hols and the no-TV policy is still in play. I found a book – 500 things to do while your not allowed to watch TV (or something similiar) so Holly is looking over it marking the pages of the things that interest her. She has taken one of the training wheels off her bike and is quite determined to be able to ride it, but has NO patience (or balance for that matter). Oh well practice makes perfect and there are still a lot of days left of the holidays. Meg got a bike from g’ma, and although it is boys colours and has “Dirt Squirt” written all over it, she LOVES it and goes like a demon up and down the driveway. Jess now has Zara’s old bike, a 2 wheeler with training wheels that is just her size, so they are all set and decked out which means no fighting over the one bike we had originally. Addy, from over the road, brings her scooter and we have a right derby going on.

My running is improving heaps and today I had my pedometer which tracked my progress. 3000 steps, 22 minutes and 1.2km’s. I can’t believe I can run that without stopping. I never would have thought I could do that, and besides there are quite a few hills in that so it isn’t all really easy! Got some new running shoes and new leggin’s so that is making me go faster! I think of the people on the Biggest Loser and if they can run then so can I. I managed to get to my goal weight on Good Friday, 7 kgs lost, but then put on about 1.6kgs over the Easter break!! Too many chocs, easter buns and wine. Oh well, I’m still going and the next mini goal is to have lost 10kgs all up by my birthday in July. I must say that I am very proud of myself and that is why I am writing it here – I feel great and can fit into my preJessica clothes (and she is nearly 3 so that definately means I need a new wardrobe!).

Amy is pulling herself up onto the steps and into cupboards and having a great old time. She is 6.5 months and has 2 teeth on the bottom. I think the top ones are not far off because her cheeks are sore and she chews on everything – even Dash’s tail. He is not too keen on Amy and when she crawls over to him, he takes off at great speed. 694
703 Into the “plastic” cupboard.
700 Angelic eyes.
712 Bathtime fun – she goes from one end to the other chasing the little floating toys.

Well I guess that is all for this update.
Cheers xx
