End of the school holidays

Jamie's back at kindy this morning, Phil is back at work. And I'm sitting here in the quiet (aaah!) about to head up to the gym. Aaah, my weekly routine. It's back.

We had a great school holiday period, and did heaps:


Playing in the back yard


Afternoons at the park

Play dates

House renovations

Looking for house inspiration and decor ideas

A Ben10 Concert

Some running - no gym trips given that I didn't have a moment to myself - but I'm happy I actually did something

Even an afternoon at the beach

Now we have one more term of kindy before Jamie heads off to school. I am determined to savour it, and imprint on my memory what it was like to have a pre-schooler in the house. For those of you that remember I had a job offer the other week, after much agonising, I eventually turned it down as I wasn't sure it could be done comfortably in the time I was willing to work. This is the last term I have of my little boy being home with me, and I want to enjoy every second.

OK, I'm outa here.
Talk soon
Kathie

Returning to routine again here today *big grins* I love having everyone home but routine is good!
Ooh tough choice about the job offer...but it sounds like you're comfortable with your decision. They grow up too fast, this last term with my boy at home feels very precious to me too...work can wait!
