Well the slide towards Christmas is gaining momentum, while I am in utter disbelief that it is three days way miss 10 and master 9 are just jumping out of their skins in excitement and are discussing if they can open their presents early before we go to my Mother In-Laws house for lunch and how early they can get up. I am going to be taking Patterson for a walk before we go so there will be no present opening before I have done that.
I think the kids should have to make their beds before presents because otherwise there will be know way that any jobs will be done after presents have been opened but I will cave and let them open them before anything gets done - they know that I am a soft touch.
Yesterday we went on the Amazing Swan Valley Chase, and just between you and me I had a great time. We did do a couple of stops - to a winery,chocolate factory and to a ice-cream shop, so it probably took us a bit longer to complete but we had a great time. Miss 10 and Master 9 were very tired last night and in bed early.
We went to places that I didn't even know were there, and we got to see some great scenery, spend time together and we never left Perth and was only 20 minutes away from where we lived. I did walk away with a couple of bottles of chocolate liqueurs and let me tell you I am having a hard time which bottle to open first!!!
Today is a big cleaning day, I want to get it all done so that Christmas day I don't have anything to do but get my coffee in the morning. The best part of getting everything done in one day is that it is over and done with the bad thing is it is 8am the aircon is on and it is going to be 38C today. I think the forecast for Christmas Day has changed to being hot, it was going to be spring day temps last week.
I am now starting to procrastinate about the house work and that is not a good sign - I can't be defeated before I start!!!!. So the only thing for it is to put on some music and get started, all I need to figure out is what sort of music to play and what to start with.............hmmm this is going to require another cup of coffee.
