Last day of holidays... YAY!

Whoo hoo!

Party at my place tomorrow LOL! The kids go back - YIPEEE!!! (oh so DS doesn't go back til thursday, but you get my point!)

i LOVE having the kids home, and then LOVE sending them back off at the end of the hols... i think it can get a bit wearing on all of us, particularly as we haven't gone away except to the folks for christmas... i think they've had a lot of fun just hanging out, playing games, riding bikes, playing cricket etc...

today i'm totally BLITZING the house - washed all the sheets, got my 4th load of laundry (or maybe 5th LOL) out on the line - i've run out of pegs DOH! just want to get it all back in shipshape order before i send the little luvs on their merry way!

worked out an awesome routine with each of the kids last night, after we had our weekly family meeting. DS is on supervised homework so that we don't have the dramas we did with his school report... there's a nice balance of time for himself, time to study & also time to do his expected chores (which we have decreased in order for him to be able to study more effectively)...

anyhow, got more to do - mainly the loungeroom & the kids bedrooms... oh & the darn mopping eek!

Last day of holidays... YAY!

That's a great idea - agreeing on an after-school schedule with the kids.  I sometimes feel like I am harping, 'reminding' them to do chores, what do they have for homework, etc.  You should write some advice on 'strategies for avoiding the report card blues'.  Will chat to # 1 (14yo son) tonight after work.  Enjoy your day -1.  LG (Katja)
