Olympic Games

Well, once again, I missed most of the Olympic Games. I missed the last ones pretty much too. Such is my focus on children & stuff that I don't get a lot of TV time (that's not ABC kids or some such anyway).

But I did my ironing tonight, which took slightly more time than the Closing Ceremony & am actually looking forward to London 2012. How cool is that going to be. I keep thinking of Belinda & her gorgeous family living right there in London & the excitement they're going to experience over the next four years. It's going to be such a wonderful time for them. :D

We had a quiet day at home today. Started off with me waking to find the girls had taken almost a full box of tissues & shredded them in Nikita's bedroom and were sticky-taping 'costumes' onto her teddy & whatever other toys they could find. I was not impressed. No wonder I insist that they stay in their own bedrooms until I come & tell them it's time to get up. Short of locking their doors, which I'm not going to do (fire hazard & we don't have locks on their doors anyway), all I can do is remind, insist, get cross, coerce, reward. They missed out on their special Sunday breakfast of Fruit Loops & had to tidy up the whole mess.

They did play together loads today & most of it was happy, kind, creative play, so that was great. I got through all my washing, folding, ironing, etc. Man that's a neverending cycle. This past 2 weeks has been incredible just how much washing I've done!!!

And now that I've finally caught up on most of my chores, I'm going to spend a quick 1/2 hr at my scrap table to do some more work on Larissa's Mini Album. It's been put to one side whilst I went on the scrap retreat, so now I need to get it done & handed over as I have numerous other jobs lining themselves up already!
