Last Day Term 1

Yes can you believe it, I can't where did the last 11 weeks go. Bella was eager to get get to school this morning, think it has something to do with seeing Ryan and her new friend Dion from Mr Bushby's class (or Mrs Bushby as Bella says). Lucky I checked the school program cause after getting her all dressed and ready in her warm uniform (just ironed) I discovered that it was a MUFTI day today and she didn't have to go in uniform. So we took a while and decided on jeans and her nice shirt, lucky we did cause there was only 1 other little girl in her uniform, knowing Bella she would have been really upset.

She is practicing her alphabet and her brain box work is going really well, we go through it everynight now, she is loving me reading to her and has really been reading her teddies a story at night too.

I have been a little worried that she is going to fall way behind by having 6 weeks off school, but I am sure with a bit of work from me and Andrew on our trip she should be alright. I am hoping that her friends won't forget her and she won't be left out on her return, I am thinking that she could send her teacher some emails while we are away with pictures of where she is and what she has been doing.

Well I have had a busy morning tidying the house and have just returned from the grocery shopping, had to buy a few bits and pieces for the boys for work, below is a copy of the list they sent me, cracked me up.

• Bin bags
• Toilet cleaner
• Gatorade
• Small tin of milo
• Fly spray
• Vegemite
• Plasma tv
• 8 seater spa
• Soft serve ice cream machine
• A limo for each of us
• Office

I am thinking that my apprentices are a tad to cheeky sometimes, okay so I did indulge and buy them a big tin of Milo :rofl:

We have had a big week this week, and have lots of orders on the go, this is very good to hear as the start of the year was a little quiet, but seems the quiet time is now well and truly over.

So this afternoon entails me heading off in a minute to Stacey's for a haircut, colour and a bit of straightening, then to pick Bella up from school, go and have my passport photo taken with my fab new hairdo, and get Bella a pair of shoes for going out, as she only has summer ones that fit anymore.

Tonight will probably be a quiet one, Andrew will no doubt be doing some design work sitting at the dining room watching the tv in between, and me well who knows probably asleep on the lounge :)
