This girl I love:
Sitting in my chair by the Christmas tree and fire, reading and watching the snow fall. Bliss:
Best friends:

So true. I have learned my lesson about this completely and now I relax about everything and enjoy the ride instead :

Thanks to D and J for inspiring Sam with their attacks on poor Frosty!! He has had his soldiers out again and is looking forward to battling against the boys in the near future:
Today was a great day - first day we've been at home in soooo long - the kids were thrilled to have an at-home day!! We got caught up on a few things and also did a few Festive crafts. Played games, read books, computer time, chatted, played, chatted, art, Talked about festivals and cultures...and Sam surprised me with his knowledge of basic fractions already :) He is so smart at math :)
Tomorrow we head out to meet friends for swimming and then we have plans for the evening too. Fun fun fun! We are having such a wonderful Christmas season :)
Love my kids so much - I am so lucky to have such wonderful children!
Tonight I had another wonderful evening filled with laughter and chat with Laurence. He drove us to and from town (his choice) in not great weather - which was really good practice for him. He did really well too!
Susannah made me very proud tonight by her maturity and the way she explained some difficult and upsetting situations with me. I know she is hurting a lot right now and I love that we can talk so easily with each other. I admire her so much. She is a very smart young lady. Abigail too is very smart for her age.
I love that children absorb what they see and live and it really doesn't matter what you TELL them, if they don't see ACTIONS, they will soon grow tired of the words. Children aren't stupid. They know whether you are making them a priority or not. They know whether they feel important to you or not. They KNOW whether they feel wanted and loved and secure or not.
I am so proud of my children and the young people they are growing in to. Love them all so much xxx
