School Holidays are here...

School holidays here officially started yesterday afternoon at 2pm here...

Paris however, had already been dispatched on a plane to Melbourne on the Thursday night, for 10days with her dad.

Josh headed off with his mum yesterday at 3pm for a week with his mum...

Both of them are due back to us on Sunday 16th October...

So a lovely quiet week here for us... really quiet for Ian actually, as come Monday morning, me and the little guys, are off on holiday with my aunty for a few nights...

Home Time....? Maybe....?

Well Ian went home from the caravan last night after being on holiday with me and the kids since the 10th January... so I'm once again here on my own...  Josh has gone to his mum's for the week, so it's just me, Paris and Cam...

And for the first time ever, in my 4 years of being at the caravan for 5 weeks at a time, I think I want to go home... I'm 33 weeks pregnant, hot, tired, bothered, and lonely... My mum is here, but she is absolutely no help to me what-so-ever... not once, has she looked after Cam so I can shower/cook/clean/nap... so today I will pack up Paris' tent, and move her into the awning, and start thinking about going home for a few days... Maybe I will head home on Tuesday...

My sister had to go home yesterday for work for two days {she has her own business}, so I'm waiting for her and  my niece to get back so I can enjoy a couple of days with them till I head home... I'll be back up for the long weekend coming up, but in all honestly, I'm sick of being up here on my own...

Slackness

I'm so sorry I've been a bit absent... I'm having so much at my caravan with my family and friends, that I honestly haven't had time to blog... I have a few ideas in my head {and part 1 of a 3part review} so will start jotting them down tonight...

I have some amazing pictures so far also {thanks heaps to my darling other half Ian for the new camera for x-mas :) }

Home again..

Well after 8 long, amazing days, we have returned home from Christchuch.  We caught up with so many friends, saw so many sights, and I even managed to fit in time to attend my Investiture ceremony to be presented with my insignia of the order by the Duke of Gloucester!

I am tired tonight, but promise I will post some pictures of our travels tomorrow... xx

Packing... Packing... Packing...

We are off to Christchurch for a week's holiday in the morning, and as usual, I've packed the kids bags, made sure Ian has the right gear, and have completely run out of energy for packing my own bags lol...  I don't even know where to start for myself either *sigh* As long as I don't forget to pack my St John uniform, otherwise I will be unable to attend the awards ceremony I going to on Sunday, and that would be really sad considering I am getting an award haha

However, I have lovely new clothes to pack, thanks to Ian buying me a few new casual items for my wardrobe this evening. 

Oh well - back to packing for me... Will update you all from Christchurch :)
