I love the school holidays, not having to get up & get the kids organised for school, doing hair, making school lunches, ironing uniforms... just being able to sleep in & relax - but by the end of the 2 weeks I am normally ready for school to start again LOL. We started our holiday early as DH had Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday off work so we packed all the camping stuff up and heading off camping for a few days... it was so nice to get away and where we went (on a property) which is normally packed on the Setember holidays was totally people free so we got to choose exactly were we wanted to camp, it was great... the kids swam in the creek endlessly (it was abit chilly for me, but I did brave it and got in a few times), swinging of the tree swing, collecting butterfly shells, building fires and collecting fire wood, riding the four wheeler, toasting marshmallows, playing cards and just doing all the things that you don't normally do when you are at home with all the modern technoligy of computers, tv's, playstations...
but I must admit it was nice to get home and go to a normal toilet (instead of a hole in the ground eeewwwwhhh) and have a shower and wash my hair that smelt like camp fire, now I just have to wash all the smokey clothes and the 15 towels and we are nearly back to normal again. If your on holidays... enjoy the time with your kids and take care on the roads if your travelling... just a few photo's from our camping trip..... TFL..... Raech :o) 
Well it has been a few sad, sad days for me as a little beautiful girl who I have been keeping updated with by her Mum's BLOG finally lost her battle to survive, and didn't receive her Transplant that she so much needed and even though I have never met this family I feel as if I knew little RANI through Mel's diligence to keep us up to date with her progress.
