There are so many things to do out there these school holidays. Alot of the time is spent here at home, going for walks, doing puzzles, having friends come over for BBQ's and just chilling out. The kids are having a wonderful time already, and I love having them home. Last night I was reading some books with Sarah and Mia, although Sarah read most of the words un aided herself. She self corrected too, a true sign of comprehension in anyone's book. Sure, our kids can sometimes be little rats, but any child is capable of that! Anyone who said their kids were angels 100% of the time has to be kidding.
This coming weekend is Grand Final Day, the game does not involve our beloved footy team the Tigers. So, we are barracking for the Cats...GO CATS!! Somehow though, I have the feeling Port Adelaide will surely win. They have been such a strong team.
Next year my boys, and maybe Sarah, will do Auskick. That's footy for the younguns here Down Under. They already have a few friends who do Auskick, the boys' friends are just their age too which is great. One of them is only 6 days older than Nicholas. They both love their footy, and the Tigers ROARRR!!

Keshi.
There's nothing like having the kids home!
By the way Cazzie - you've been tagged! [Pat deftly dodges the rotten tomato Cazzie throws her way!]
Go the Cats! That's Geelong right?
I read stories with my grandchildren last week on our visit.....nothing better....we also watched a grandson practice for his high school football team. Fun.
Just wanted to thank you for visiting !
I've been to Adelaide a few years ago, really nice place. The botanical gardens are just... wow !
Looks like your kids will love reading - that's cool ! When you read them a story and stumble upon a word (eh, you can be tired sometimes !) or miss a sentence, do they correct you ? I used to do that to my parents all the time ! :D
Suppose there is a feline connection between Geelong and Richmond. Auskick is great, even if they are never interested in playing footy later and their mother may get to meet a hot AFL player.
:::aside... nickel's worth.... reading and comprehension are not the same..... ask lots of questions.... taken a while to explain that to the teachers, the SLP's know....::::
Have a great school holiday. The kids have Fri off here and the eldest is going to the sitters to play for the day with his friends. The eldest and I... will be sitting on the toilet :)
S
I get confused sometimes. Are you talking about soccer football or Australian Rules Football? LOL
Enjoy your time together, sounds like a great holiday!
Enjoy your holiday! Kids here are just getting back to school. The beaches are empty and it's my favorite time of year. It's quiet ;o)
I know someone who said and still says her kid is an angel. He's a train wreck. Full grown adult now with a wife and two kids and he's living with....you guessed it...his mom. LOL!
footy? LOL! Is that Aussie speak for football? Somehow things sound so much cuter the way you say them.
It's nice that you appreciate them ... and I'm sure they appreciate you too! It's also nice that they're not stuck in front of the TV or computer like so many kids today ...
Cazzie..
You Aussies do love the football..
Have a great day sweetie..xox
