bluephinSave My Sanity Plan for the School Holidays
September 30th 2006 12:40
In our beautiful state of New South Wales the entire schooling population is taking a two week hiatus from arithmetic, Shakespeare and catch and kiss. School holidays are here again and along with them, greying mum’s who are counting down the days until school resumes.
I love having Jack at home during the holidays but I find that I need to have a number of activities organized to keep myself sane and the little tucker exhausted, I mean happy.
So, here are some of the things that we plan on doing this school holidays:
1) Head to Greater Union and catch ‘The Wild’ – what child wouldn’t love a movie about a lion?
2) Grow a pizza garden – as seen on Inner West Life. Dirt, water and a spade equates to a very happy child
3) Pack a picnic and spend a day at the beach, weather permitting. Surf, sand and sun is just so much fun! Oh, except when it all ends up on the car floor along with a hundred ‘rescued’ sea shells.
4) Have a water fight while cleaning the car (see point 3).
5) Put a tent up in the backyard and have a sleep out. We’ll really be roughing it with a back door key and a blow up mattress.
6) Make some Viennese Shortbread Stars – as seen on Receipe.org
Naturally, once Jack has fallen into a deep, exercise induced sleep I will partake in a little relaxation technique that I’ve acquired a taste for over the years.
A glass of red, some blues music, my laptop and a great story idea.
