Although the kids don't come back till next week, we are back at work this week. I love having this time to set up, do paperwork etc, and generally get my head back into work mode. Spending time setting up the kindergarten is always fun. It takes us all day, but seeing the end result is worth it. I must remember to take a photo and post it on here...
My friend Nik is staying tonight (she's the one who had the operation last week, when we looked after her girls). So I cooked a nice roast chicken for dinner with a kumera salad etc - nothing like being spoilt a bit. She came to stay because she's off to the same conference as me tomorrow and I'm her taxi. We've had a spa and now she's watching a DVD with Lyall , a gin, lime and lemonade in her hand, and no children - she's not planning on going home anytime soon apparently!
Tomorrow is conference day. Our association has a conference once a year where all three hundred or so teachers get together - that's always good and again helps you to shift back into work mode. It's always at this time of the year, where as during the rest of the year our meetings are usually done through each area (eg, East, North...). These are held in the second week of each term break - so we get the first week off as holidays and work the second week. It's great knowing that you are having a break, and are coming back refreshed - the downside is they always put up the airfares etc for the school holidays!!
Thursday should be a bit of a fun day, I'm taking my SIL out for the day. She broke her foot on Christmas Eve so now that her hubby's back at work, needs to get out to stop going insane! I got her into scrapbooking about a year ago, so we are off to our local shop and then to get some teaching resources (she's a primary teacher) and then home to my place to create...and yak...! My hubby is one of five boys, and three of them married teachers, so we sure do have some interesting conversations!
Well here is my latest layout, which is for the fortnightly sketch challenge over at Scrapbook Essentials...
I aren't happy with my journalling so that might be Thursday's job...
This photo Lyall took on his way home a couple of weeks ago, it's one gorgeous sunset. I only just downloaded his photos hence why it's only being posted now!
I'm just sitting here staring at the photo, mmm so peaceful.

I'll bet the kindergarten is quiet without any kids!! LOL :-) But I'm sure you are looking forward to seeing them all again soon.
Again, I just love that layout. Especially the close up photo in the middle. Superb!
You have certainly got a bit variety in your days coming up. My oldest is into photographing sunsets and really impressed with your photo - just gorgeous.
I just love sunset photos, whenever I get a cd of photos form mum there is always at least 10 sunset photos on it. Liam is back to kindy today, I feel half human again, getting back to our normal routine of kindy will be good, and then rouitne of kindy and school will be great.
OMG, that sunset is soooo intense!
Like the page you've done, good work!
Yay I found your blog, I kept meaning to save it as a fav but kept forgetting1 Just love that layout! I have just completed my layout for that challenge as well except for the journalling!
Awesome layout ... absolutely stunning photo.
Enjoy the peace and quiet at kindy, before your peace is shattered ... not many sleeps to go now.
