We had lots of outside time this week, before the rains came, and before the kids' preschool started back up again. We took the kids to the duck park for a play and to ride their Eurotrikes around (they made all of the other kids jealous!), and the kids went to a friend's birthday party. Arley thought he was very cool wearing his undecorated princess cone hat. And we also got out the kids' big Christmas present, a giant blow up water slide - but we used it without the water. The kids LOVE it. We might just have the most spoiled kids south of Sydney.
Carmie and Arley both started back at school on Tuesday. I was really sad for them to go back. It's funny, at the beginning of the holidays, I didn't know how I was going to survive four and a half weeks without a break from the two munchkins, as they can be such hard work. But by the end, we had fallen into such a nice rhythm, and they were fairly chill with no major ups or downs, and it was so nice to have them around. I was actually quite teary their first morning back! I don't know how I'm going to be when they leave for college!!
Arley is talking so well now, it is amazing. He is so cute, still obsessed with his trains, still refusing to potty train, and absolutely refusing to give up his wubbies (dummies/pacifiers). Carmie paints and draws just about every chance she can get, and she is coming up with very creative pictures, of whales and red back spiders, and of course rainbows and butterflies. We have four days off in a row starting tomorrow, as it is Australia Day on Tuesday, so I'm going to enjoy the kids as much as I can :)
