Oh yes we have been taking things slowly here. I dont think i can remember a christmas quite like it really. Just not actually going out of the house unless totally neccessary and i have loved it.
We have titivated with things that needed sorting, like my crochet basket and the children's drawing boxes. We have done a little gardening and made some space on the book shelf for some more of the girls new books, but apart from that we have been mainly staying in our pj's til gone 11, eating way too many chocolates and endulging in christmas tv.
Today we did venture out to my dad's house and then on to Dunelm, where i bought some gorgeous throws for our sofas and a blanket that is in the exact shade i would like in the livingroom ( i have managed to convince Ian this week that we need to redecorate and carpet the front room and so i am not planning mentally how i would love it to be!!) and following that i have been lounging on the sofa this evening watching catch up christmas tv snuggly and warm.
Ian is driving all the way to Devon and back to take Callum home as we speak. It has been a joy to have him with us for the last 2 weeks and we were all sad to see him go. Roll on Easter.
So how have you been spending this luxurous week off? I am looking forward to taking the decorations down on new years day and being ruthless with the toys that we actually need/ want in our toy corner where the tree is at the moment. Emily is very excited about making it into a "home corner" with their new portable cooker and tea sets etc. I am hoping i will have enough energy to get settled before we go back to school on Wednesday and the stress begins again.
