Too Much to Post, Not Enough Time

It's not possible to post all that goes on, but I do try to keep our families in the loop as much as possible! It's been hard to talk on the phone with the 14/15 hour time difference so the blog is a good way to keep in touch!

Last weekend we put up the Christmas tree and the had a great time doing it. The kids really got into it and did quite a good job!

I can't really post any more pictures of the Christmas decorating process - the kids were in their undies the whole time! It's super hot here so they like to strip down. :)

In order to cool ourselves down, we headed off to New Market Pool where the kids had a blast. It's an awesome place for young children. Lots of pools, play areas, slides, etc. And it's really cheap. I'm thinking we may look to do Shamus' birthday party there this year.

Very happy with our water proof camera. Thank goodness for it! It was in the water the whole time as we did tons of videos. We had a super time.

Breagha was nervous to go down the bigger slides but she loved the small ones. Shamus went up and down the same slide (the biggest one) for about 2hours straight!

Shamus is moving up a level in swimming class next week so we're very proud of him. He is swimming quite well on his own and is getting confident. It's a lot of fun to watch them at swimming class. And it's even better when we're not at swimming class and he still has the confidence to try things on his own. Breagha is not quite there yet but she is keeping her face in the water for longer periods of time now!

Another busy weekend! Today is Monday and I enjoyed my time with the kids. We went to South Bank and met up with some Mommies and kiddies. The kids had lots of fun in the water and I got to catch up with friends. Back to work tomorrow! But, Christmas is getting close so we'll have some time off which will be really nice. My company is giving all employees half a day off for Christmas shopping and we were all given a gift card to help pay for the shopping. A pleasant surprise on Friday. And my boss was up from Sydney last week and he also surprised me and Stacey Cav with a bottle champagne each. Very nice of the company.

Darryl's Christmas party is this Friday so another post to come!

Hope everyone is getting ready for Christmas! We're loving all our Christmas music so I'm getting into the Christmas spirit!!! :)
