Can't believe as I type this, we have just finished putting up our new Christmas tree, tomorrow is 1 December and the kids start opening the advent calendars. Whilst James is diligent and opens one a day, Chris by probably Wednesday will have opened and eaten all his chocolates already.
I just LOVE Christmas and we went out this morning and bought a new Christmas tree, but I couldn't resist these other 2 items, one is the countdown to Christmas the other is the train advent.
Even Jess got involved in decorating the tree.
I was very privilege to spend the day away from the family at something called a Shape day. This was my birthday present from Frances and the girls, where we spent the day attending talks in the morning and treatments in the afternoon. The whole day was put on by Shape magazine. We all had a lovely day, even if there were a lot of ladies there.
Rob has spent most of the weekend finalising his application for a British passport or is it citizenship. Finally they have found a way to apply but its going to cost a fortune, but money well spent in the long run.
I am sooooooooooooooo pleased the kids exams are over, now we wait for the results. The evening when I climbed out of the pool, I could not find the kids. Finally found them on top of the wendy house roof - supposedly learning - I think all they learnt that day was that gravity works when you are elevated and have to keep yourself up. You can just imagine what their white school uniform shirts looked like . . .
Last weekend we had a drive for our neighbourhood watch and Doug and Tra provided their fire engine for rides, well of course James and Nic commandeered the truck for their own personal enjoyment. James also had his photo taken with the police officer from our area, wearing one of their bullet proof vests.
Tigger continues to grow bigger and bigger - Jess is amazing and carts him around all over the house by the scruff of his neck. It is so sweet as Mickey not to be outdone, regularly sleeps cuddled up between Jess and Tigger - one big happy family.
