wow i cant believe the school holidays are nearly here again the school year is starting to go real fast.  Unfortunately the holidays go slow, making it harder to keep the kids occupied without costing a fortune.

wow its been so long since ive been here... too much work and not enough relaxing really gets to a person.  I dont know about everyone else but i am looking forward to the christmas break with a holiday planned, time off work and time to spend with the kids...something to cherish and enjoy while it lasts.

well its now our dry season, its good but bad. no more sudden downpours of rain, but everything is drying up.  all the polen and flowers are out, it looks and smells great unless you a parent of a child with asthma and/or eczma.  the kids miss playing in the rain and it gets so hot they want the sprinkler or hose on.  oh how i really miss the different seasons in so many ways, the change of the leaves etc, but then i definently dont miss the freezing cold weather.  i think i much prefer the warmth of the sun and if i get sick of it i can just go on holiday to the cold areas lol.

my 4yr old son is going through the WHY stage, its so frustrating, i never realised how lucky i was that my eldest didnt go through this.  I find it quite funny how each child goes through these different stages, always with different things, my two children are so different, it helps to understand and appreciate each childs individuality.
