Holidays!
The first week of our school holidays is gone. It went so fast. Steve is getting the family room done but I am sick of the dust. He has been plastering the walls and then has to sand them back. We have white dust from one end of the house to the other. If anyone walks into the family room, you can follow their trail from the family room to any area of the house.
Tom got in on the action and started rubbing the door frames for Steve. Here is a video of him doing it.

Cooking.
Today I started doing a big cook for our main meals this month. Amelia wanted to help and she was a big help in the kitchen.
We made chicken stock, potato and leek soup and pasties.
Here is a picture of Amelia cutting up the potatoes for the soup.

Daniel.
Daniel is home for the weekend. His girlfriend Abbey is here too. Tomorrow Abbey's parents and her brother are coming over for lunch. I am looking forward to meeting them all.

YCS!!
This week Madeline and Brigette are going on a YCS camp. They will be gone on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
It will be very quiet here without them.

Gastro.
Earlier in the week, I wasn't able to post what I wanted since I was feeling pretty revolting after being sick.
I am completely over the bug now and grateful for everyone that prayed for me.

Joseph.
Joseph is moving all over the lounge room now. I put him down on a blanket on the lounge room floor and he gets off it pretty quickly.
He has a pretty rotten cough at the moment and it is making him miserable. Hopefully he will be over it soon.

Toy Story 3.
Yesterday Steve and I took Tom, Amelia, Christopher and Joseph to Toy Story 3. Joseph liked being in the cinema until they turned down the lights. Then he didn't want any part of it.
He and I spent the first half of the movie out in the foyer. He wanted to look around. I was trying to rock him off to sleep. He was pretty stubborn about going to sleep but I managed to rock him off and see the last half of the movie. I would like to see the whole movie. Maybe we will buy the DVD when it comes out. Steve thinks if is the best Toy Story made.

J isn't the best at the movie theater, either. He'll nurse for part of the time, munch on Cheerios, and then get fitful. Bummer as my third son was great (nursed and then slept) at the movies.
It looks like Joseph will be into trouble rather soon. J still doesn't get up on his knees to move about. Guess he figures there's no need to fix something that isn't broke as his 'commando' crawling gets him around quick enough.
Enjoy your break. Ours wraps up in a week when eldest son gets back from Scout camp. I just need to finish planning and tell the boys. (It'll be a 'soft' start as I have a few things to order up still.)
You are so efficient!!! I do admire you zeal. Tom is a hard worker and Amelia will probably be as good a cook as you are! Wishing all well! Cathy
Glad you are feeling better Therese, nothing worse than being sick in the holidays
well, feel sorry you're not able finish the whole movie......coz it's actually the best toy story ever made.......
Hey, loves how you write your family activities.......nice posting...
We saw Toy Story 3 and my 2 year old did suprisingly well! I almost cried at the end though!
I think it's great your kids have blogs, by the way, what a great way to encourage them to write.
