So Sunday I got up a little later than I wanted to and missed taking the boys to see Charlie finish the 10k run, the older two weren't bothered but Sam and I would have went had my head been a bit more on it. By the time I was sorted she was finished and heading back so I watched the boys whilst Cam went to get the car and Charlie ran back to the house. What a trooper!
Max tried to see what he would get away with, asking me questions about what he was allowed to do/eat, but I stayed strong. After Charlotte got back we got out the Christmas boxes, and all started sticking on hats and reindeer horns. Christmas had begun and discussion about who opens what day of the advent calendar; gives me memories of being a child.
Later after lunch three of us headed down for a walk to the local beach. FLIES EVERYWHERE! Had a cup of tea and tried to keep the flies away with a bit of a bush. This was post-snake danger talk from a 7 year old, this was essential information! 
After my cup of tea we went and threw ourselves in the ocean; it was so cold! We did an under head dip then went and got a quick shower before dressing and walking back home. By this point my hair was like straw, if I took it out of the bobble it would stick up by itself.
When we came home it was a glass of bubbles before a delicious duck roast, and there was plenty more jumping around on the trampoline.
Last night I struggled to sleep, and I mean really struggled. Barely slept a wink and I knew I was getting woken up early - they finally had permission to jump on me and wake me up. So early morning Archie came jumping on the bed, much to his disappointment I was already awake. I got up and the school rush happened whilst I waddled around in a daze. Then we left for school and I stood through the assembly and the Australian anthem. Much more jazzy than God Save the Queen. Who knew how boring and looooong assembly could be.
Then it was swim time with some much appreciated and much needed swimming tips from the pro. Hopefully I'll have chance to advance them as we go. I also wore flippers which was a strange sensation. When we came home I couldn't cope with the tiredness, I'm afraid I caved and went for a nap... a FOUR HOUR nap. I definitely needed it. Felt refreshed but still tired when I woke up. I helped with tea and then got engaged in an intensive game of monopoly, although my roll has been taken over and I'm being told what my moves are... I still seem to be winning.
Hopefully tonight I will sleep right through. We'll see...
