It has been a manic week, but in a good way.
Run around in the mornings to get everyone mobilised, drop kids off, tidy house, do washing and hang out, run off to meetings, try to catch up on emails, fetch children, start supper, hubby comes home, we entertain and chat and eat and bath, read stories, fight to get everyone to sleep at a reasonable hour, tidy the house, continue working, pass out, wake up and do it all over again.
I thought I would mind this mania, this feeling of not getting to everything, but as it turns out I don’t have time to worry about it. I feel like I’m making some contribution to someone else’s (outside my immediate family) life for the first time in ages and I REALLY needed the validation. The sense of accomplishment.
The only thing I am feeling is that, even though I now fetch the kids at 15h00 instead of 17h00 I am spending less actual time with them. It this even possible??
Some pics:
A nice pic of Daniel for a change at school last week:
At the Fairmont Carnival on Saturday, their first ‘rides’, they had a ball!!
At home, having their afternoon nap. Not. (check the mess they made, Mom was NOT impressed)
I managed to do their hair in 2 ponytails for the first time EVER that made it to school in one piece (or 4, as it may):
Will be back soon, lots more to tell!!
Wow! you do seem very busy… Went for a walk yesterday and wanted to pop in to say hi but you had so many cars outside your house….
Wow busy is good.
Pics are so cute
They were spraying Nitida and Bloemendal, so Daniel’s class spent the day there. I believe it went well, I wasn’t there..
You would know, your life is 10 times more hectic than mine!
Those Hello Kitty bags are gorgeous. And I love the giggling children on the bedroom floor with mess all around. Kids just being kids…awesome.
Busy busy! I keep saying I don’t know where I ever found time to work full day! But when hubby asks what I did, I hit a blank 🙂
Gorgeous pics – love the ponytails 🙂
The giggling went on foreeeeeeever. For the entire duration of their supposed 2 hour nap in fact 🙂
Thank you!
Thank you Rebecca 🙂
Lovely pic of Daniel and your giggling gerties look like they had a ball making a mess! Glad you’re taking the hectiness in your stride. Don’t burn out!
