It’s school holidays. Not that I don’t love a house full of fighting, whining, bored children. And did I mention the washing?  I’m quite sure vacations are simply put there to make us feel so much better about the school fee bill when it arrives sometime this week.  You know, I’d pay double today.

On a brighter note, today we went ice skating!! I even donned a pair of skates and got myself out there, clinging to the rails like some deranged geriatric for all of two laps before I conceded defeat but hey, I did it. Luca picked it up in no time and was flying around like it was nothing. Crayte decided he was actually Dean himself, or is it Torville?, and worked up a sweat strutting his stuff. Mason announced after 6 minutes that he hated it and was never doing it again. Skates off, planted at the cafe, he didn’t budge for the next 2 hours. How very predictable!! It really was fun and we’ll do it again soon.

Here’s Missy Ava jumping around on her bed today…know that there was a whole lotta bribing for the face photo!!
