Gotta love them - Can't live without them - Counting down the days until they go back to school, (in case you're wondering there is 25 days). My year won't get easier until the two older ones are back in school, and the younger one is being minded by her aunty Lace (second cousin). I don't call the two younger ones Hurricane and Monsoon for nothing.
We've been going through the process of decluttering my daughter's house. I admit something we shouldn't have started during school holidays, because little hands are not helpful. They try to be, but in the end, they make the job ten times harder. We might have to postpone the job until they are back at school. Especially, when it comes time to go through all the toys. Today the little angels are at my house while their carpets are getting shampooed at home.
I know by looking at their pictures... butter wouldn't melt in their mouths. when they get with their cousin it's like the four horsemen of the apocalypse have descended upon us... but tell the truth, I'm looking forward to seeing the dynamics between them as they grow... now they are all between 3 & 6, and the cousin is 7. I wonder if they will always remain as close as they are now. We have one (the cousin) who is on the low end of the spectrum; and another who is diagnosed ADHD... fun times because those two are frenemies, (or so they tell us). The ADHD one is starting Prep this year. and she is looking forward to it.
This Christmas we were smart. They didn't get a lot of toys. they got three big outside ones they could share and then a couple of little things; then we stocked them up for school. Though, leaving the shoe buying until last minute in case they have a growth spurt between now and the 28th. trust me, it happened when the eldest one first started prep, and her mum bought her shoes too early.
Sadly, I have come to realize my grandbabies know their way around a phone better than I do. When did that happen? One day they are coming to me needing help with something, and now I have to get them to help me. Smart little buggers.
On that note I will away, because we are about to hang out some washing and Hurricane and Monsoon like to hand me the pegs.
