Here's how the last few days have panned out:
-Christmas Eve cleaning and cooking in preparation for THE day
-mass with the kids
-Christmas morning 6am wake up call
-few hours of assembling and playing with kids
-few hours preparation of food
-family arrive, much chatter, hugs and eating. Plenty of eating!
-family leave after 4, short rest before packing car and heading to visit inlaws 40 min drive away.
-more laughs and food and chatter and presents.
-arrive home after 11pm, exhausted and happy.
-Boxing Day brunch at fave cafe
-let the boys spend as long as they like at their fave park
-quick duck into Boxing Day sales: only bought FCUK shorts for hubby & 1 pair of shoes for me before kids wanted to head home (but not before mandatory stop at Max Brenners!)
-a relaxing arvo playing with the kids (not so much for hubby, who watched the Aussies get demolished in the Ashes)
-family movie night: Night at the Museum, followed by late night SATC re-runs for me.
After all that, I'm supposed to start work again tonight?
Bah humbug!
