Kids seem very lovey dovey after their 8 day separation.  I was going to take them to the pool or something yesterday afternoon but they spent practically the whole day holed up in their bedroom playing together!  V also got J to try on his new school uniform which looked very cute.  He is so excited to be joining V at 'big school'.  This photo is from the start of last year when he could only look on enviously. 

Beginning of 2007 school year

As expected, the house is now a disaster zone, eg, entire contents of suitcase disgorged next to the washing machine (don't they have washing machines on the island???) so I am feeling pretty cranky about that.  Ten times as many dishes as ds and I had been generating and hot wheels race tracks running all across the bedroom floor. 

Back to the old stress and chaos getting everyone reading for work/holiday care this morning - was almost a relief getting into the office.

Taking the next week and a half off to do some 'fun things' with the kids before school goes back!

Just about to head off to the airport to collect husband and daughter who have been away visiting family for nine whole days.  Looking forward to seeing them but expecting V to be a bit tired and cranky after all the excitement and having to get up super early to catch the flight this morning.  They have sent me a few photos while away and V looks like she has turned into a teenager while away (she calls these her 'Lindsay Lohan glasses')!  Funny when you don't see your kids for a little while you suddenly notice how much they have grown or changed.  Often get a surprise at how tall my son has grown in the night when I see him first thing in the morning.
