School Holidays and what's going on with the kids

My goodness the term has flown. I didn't realise until this morning that my 5 year old twins start their mid year school holidays (two weeks) on Monday. I Managed to get agreement1 from my manager to take some time off so I am at home for the time that they are not visiting their grandparents.

Anyway, I'm really looking forward to being able to spend some time with them. We've got a great little park with climbing frames, swings and somewhere to kick a ball around so we should have a good time.

Jake has to be at Soccer early tomorrow for his team photo. He just lost his second front tooth the other night, so this should be a good one :-). He is currently having awful trouble pronouncing some words. It looks like Lucy may not be far behind him in the tooth department either.

  1. I suspect that the shutdown in the U.S. may have had something to do with getting that agreement as we tend to have fewer calls coming in whenever the U.S. has a shutdown. Our shift covers 4pm to 12am Pacific time, so we generally get everything that happens late afternoon and early evening.
