School Holidays

I LOVE school holidays! I can sleep in, take my time with things, read my books and spend quality time with my kids. Tonight I am winding down after a huge day visiting Taronga Zoo. The last time we visited this zoo Maya was 1 and Connor was 3.

 Cute weren't they! The weather was beautiful and we had a blast with good friends. Gee, it really does get easier the older they get. They were so well behaved and had so much fun.

Spectacular day to take in the spectacular views.

The days have been quite busy. The kids have loved having friends over as well as popping out here and there.

Entertainment central!

 Boys clowning around in the pool.

We have enjoyed a couple of movies in the afternoons - when we need some down time after a busy day. I had bought a little while ago an old favourite - Sound Of Music and finally got around to showing it to Maya. I have created a monster! I think she has now watched it about 7 times!!! She loves it - just like I did when I was a little girl.

 Another blast from the past...a local milkshake bar. I took the kids the other day after Connor's first guitar lesson. They do REAL milkshakes. Big and cold and YUM. (He loved his guitar lesson too)

Holidays also give me a little time to enjoy the kitchen too. I am no chef...actually I'm fairly hopeless except for a few things I do OK, but I do like cooking (when it's not too hard and it turns out well!) Yesterday afternoon I picked up some prawns, googled a recipe and, with a glass of wine in hand, cooked a simple, yummy meal.

 

 More playdates ahead this week. More gardening too...and the long awaited front turfing is penciled in to happen Saturday...must order it tomorrow! Photos of that to come.

Off to soak my weary feet! What do you love doing with the kids in the holidays? Any 'ritual' outings or activities? I'd love to hear.

Cheers
