We had a day at the coast yesterday. Decided Saturday night that it would be nice to get out of town, so we piled all our gear into the Blue Van and headed for Batemans Bay. We had swims at 2 beaches, a play on the sand, a walk and a late lunch around Mogo town, and then home again. It was good fun and on the whole the kids were great and enjoyed the ocean. Amy is taking after her sisters in her hate of the sand. Go to put her on it and her feet go up around her ears! Holly went body surfing and caught a few waves much to her absolute delight. They all had new swimmers on (there were on sale at the end of the summer season so picked up some bargains) and looked chic as well as a bit bronzed!

H and M are starting dance classes tomorrow. I have held off on the after school activities for as long as possible, mainly because with the other kids in tow it makes life very crazy, however these classes are at the school and thus just down the road. It is called Physical Culture and is a mix of Ballet, gymnastics, aerobics and jazz. Both cannot wait to get in there and prance around and I cannot wait to see them do it 🙂

Jess had her orientation session at Possums last week and this week she goes all day Thursday and half day Friday. She has promised a painting for Justin for his birthday. I hope she goes OK. I’ve been getting a bit paranoid about her. She is sooo tall, like a head above the other kids. I was often taller and bigger than everyone and very self conscious about it. Everyone remarks on how tall she is, but underneath she is still a 3 year old. Please let her be OK.

I was working on the computer this morning and Meg wanted me to play with her. She said “Mum I’m at school all day now and don’t get time with you, can’t you come and play with me now?” How to innocently pull a guilt trip in one easy lesson!! Gosh these kids really make my emotions work overtime.

Haven’t heard anything about the job after the interview last week. I’m not getting my hopes up! I put my name on the canteen roster, and organising a cake stall and cake decorating competition for the Carnival in March and am trying to get a scrapping album finished. Who has time to work? 🙂

Allrighty, that is about it. Looking forward to a good week.
