Another busy week...we have been frantically trying to tidy up loose ends at work, finish the school PTA directory AND attend social functions. The first major event was the Xmas play at school. Because there is not much room in the school hall, the play runs four times - afternoon and evening on two days. I made a special effort to get a new camera before we went (to much grumbling from M)
J was initially disappointed that he didnt get a speaking part, but this was overcome once the teacher let him carry a shield...I am not certain what the significance of stripe shirted, bereted frenchmen carrying shields is, but it certainly stopped the whining! M got to be Mary, very good choice - sitting and looking dignified and grave suits her very well!
The next big event was the final Thursday Night Snooker at the Social Club for R...a very big turnout and far too many pints. Daddy wasnt feeling too hot on Friday morning.
Friday night was the big night - J's drama class end of term show, M&M&J went to see Dick Whittington pantomime after and R went to the CERF Xmas party at Queens, to be joined later by a bunch of overtired and hyper small people and their knackered mum.
Now we are in cleaning and packing frenzy before we leave tomorrow night. I think we have enough stuff to survive now, and we look like squishing everything into 2 bags (a matter of pride for big M who is able to go the US for a week carrying only a laptop bag). We are all looking forward to being warm again in just 2 days from now (hope it doesnt do the xmas snow thing in Hobart)
