Good Morning my lovelies how are you today?

My weekend without children and husband is going well, was a bit lost last night I didn't have to have dinner ready, wasn't sure watch to on TV - actually there was nothing on that interested me.
I didn't eat all of the chips - I kept waiting for a child's voice to so "Mum, can I have some"?

I actually spent a great deal of time wondering what they were doing and if they are ok, Master 8 did ring me because he missed me, and to tell me that they saw a possum, he was a bit worried that he wouldn't do well on this camp but by the time the other scouts get there today and they get into the theme of the camp - it is pirate themed he will be fine and he will be too worn out to notice I am not even there. Miss 9 well she will be having a great time, putting her into scouts was the best thing we ever did for a girl who seems to have a problem when meeting new people she has come out of her shell and doesn't hide behind me when being introduced to them.  She is also more confident in her ability.

What to do today - well after I have walked Patterson I am going to clean out my car and wash it.  Now if you know me, I don't tend to this on a regular basis and the fact that I am doing it without my Hubby saying something - well lets just say I should be getting a ticker-tape parade for it!!!!! Then it will be the usual house tidy up and make sure everything is done so that I can just chill this afternoon.

I received a text on Friday telling me that my new toy will be arriving on Monday afternoon - SQUEEE.  Yes I will be putting up pictures and letting you know how it does the wonderful things it does.  While it will not be a "review" it will be me being very excited and telling you all about it.

Tis the season to be jolly, yes that time is fast approaching and for the first time in 7 years we are going to be home for Christmas, we did go away every Boxing Day for our 3 week holiday but this year we decided that we are not going.  It is going to be weird because I will get to decorate the house - I promise not to go overboard, put up the wreathes - which need to be replaced, and do some cooking - the one thing I am looking most forward to doing and it is really simple and easy is chocolate covered strawberries and trying to smuggle some cherries into the house and sitting and eating them without the kids finding out but probably not happen because they will find them and eat them!!!
I think it is time to get new ornaments and tinsel for the tree - I am still undecided about the tinsel but I need to get new ornaments, I just happen to be in Red Dot and found some great ones but in true Kylie form I didn't buy them ( I was there to get pirate hats) so when I go back to get them they will be gone, might have to go to the Reject Shop to see what they have.  I don't want to go overboard but I am really excited at being able to decorate.  The best part about Christmas for me is reading Twas the Night before Christmas, it has become tradition that we read it from the 1st December right up until Christmas Eve - the kids ask for it to be read and get very disappointed if we miss a night.

So what are you Christmas Traditions???  Leave me a comment below.

Toodles Kylie xxxx
