Yay, it's the term 3 school holidays ....so at the last minute (like yesterday as I said I was feeling better!) we have decided to take a few days off to have some family time together sans phones and computers. We are heading up to the rainforest this morning. It's raining here in Brisbane so it will be raining up there for sure. The boys are rubbing their hands together ... as rain means frogs... and lots of them. The boys have signed up for the Eco Rangers Discovery Program so hubby and I will have 1pm - 4pm daily to ourselves! The rainforest program sounds so exciting .... creek adventures, snake bite lessons, bush tent making, 'eco detective' activities....boy heaven.
I am hoping that the cool rainforest air will steal away my cough for good and give me fresh lungs. So.. I will be offline and away from my inbox until the end of the week. Have a great week and for those of you on school holidays...... enjoy... every..... minute.
Hubby handed me my coffee the other morning and said to me" you know we are living the best years of our lives. I have everything I ever dreamed of". He's a thinker, and a bit of a romantic. It's good to stop in your tracks, assess your life and be grateful. Food, clothing, shelter, health, family...... tick... yep.... grateful.
Have a great week.
Stone, wood with walls of glass thrown in for good measure ... YES!
ReplyDeleteI love Brisbane and your rain forests ...wish I could be there.
Take care and enjoy this respite.
Hope your boys find lots of frogs and you have a lovely time together.
ReplyDeleteIn the UK there is an effective pnumonia jab that gives annual winter protection - can you get hold of that? x
Have a great week you too, and hope you are feeling much better after your holiday :-)
ReplyDeleteTake care :-)
That comment from your husband is so lovely AM. Glad you are on the mend. Enjoy your mini break x
ReplyDeleteYah - holidays for me too! It's raining this morning in my corner of the world and let me tell you - the frogs in the rainforest behind my house this morning were going off! Have a great week. :)Sharyne
