Sorry it's been a few days but we have been super busy here. I finally finished my Christmas cards to be sent all around the world; lots to England, a couple to the US, one to Australia, one to Portugal... Good to get them done and think about those friends and family...
Did you get yours yet?
Friday kicked off the busy weekend as we had a PD day (professional development for teachers). Much to the girls' disgust I took them to the doctors to get their flu jab, then we had friends over to play. We made some lovely gingerbread house scenes.
Do you like them?
A large part of the day was spent cooking for friends who came in the evening. We had a middle eastern inspired meal; hummus and salad, Morrocan chicken and couscous and a honey yogurt cake with caramelised mandarins. I think it went down well, and I loved how the table looked with the festive settings.
Sunday morning began with a scream! Meg had let Joe in (who we hadn't seen in a few days) and followed him upstairs after a few minutes only to find him standing in a huge pool of water staring down at a lifeless little fish... He'd knocked over Tess' fish bowl and the poor fish was about to be cat food. However, SuperMum came to the rescue, scooped up the poor fish, ran to get bottled water and, you'll be glad to hear, the fish is looking as though he'll pull through!
The rest of Sunday was a whole lot quieter. Olly always likes to head downtown at Christmas time to see the huge Christmas tree at Nathan Phillips Square and we took a peak in the windows of The Bay. Here's Meg looking in on Santa's elves.
Very busy week ahead. I'm teaching Kindergarten all week, the girls have their holiday concerts at school, book club, and two Christmas parties... Wish me luck!
