1 More Day...

Until 2 things! First, Mom and Dad arrive and second, until MY summer holidays start!  I will be picking them up at 8am Thursday morning from the airport and then technically "on holiday" until the 13th of January when they fly home! 

Today I had all three kids for the majority of the day!  This morning played some games, went on the trampoline and did some art.  I forgot to say that yesterday morning we had a pretty competitive game of musical statues (freeze dancing) and then musical chairs (kind of difficult with 3 people needed one to do the music, but Libby and Reuben were determined to make it work).  While Tessa was napping, I tested out making a 3D snowflake following directions online.  It turned out pretty cool-looking and HUGE but was far too complicated for the kids patience...I had to tell Libby a few times while I was working on it that she couldn't use some of paper I had cut for her own project because it was going to turn into part of the snowflake at the end.  They both really liked how it looked but weren't too interested in making their own, Libby just decided that I should make that one "for her." 

When Tessa woke, and they all had had some kind of lunch we went to the pool again.  This time with all three kids!  Nan met us there because she was taking Libby and Reuben to spend the night at her house from there.  We had another pretty long swim, Libby continued to progress and Tessa just wanted to jump in over and over again!  She couldn't get enough of the jumping!  After swimming I came home with just Tessa and had a pretty quiet rest of the afternoon.  We went on the trampoline some more, on the swings and then she decided to play hairdresser for awhile, continually putting a clip in my hair and then taking it out again without unclipping it...ouch...I tried to show her what to do but she still ended up pulling out at least one hair each time!
