Missing?

I've been hibernating! Life is whizzing by, as usual!
I have made up my swimming hours and have now been taking my own classes. 2-4 year olds one morning a week and school kids in the afternoons. Tiring but refreshing! Finding I do have some patience, which I hate to say, is sadly disappearing when it comes to my kids! Don't know why I let them push all my buttons.
We had a great week away with old friends in Yarrawonga over Easter. It has been more than 5 years (before kids) since we had a holiday away with them. It was really ace to reconnect, get to know their kids + spend quality time together! Lots of fun chats, card games + the odd game of scrabble. (Rude word Scrabble made us girls giggle to the point of nearly peeing ourselves when the boys went off fishing!!) The swimming pool was too cold to swim, but that didn't keep the kids out. They shivered + bombed into the pool, kicked around on the boogie boards and did big splashes. Unfortunately, Isla got a cold from the 1st day and was sniffly all week. However that did not stop her singing Abba at 4am and waking the house up!! She watched Mama Mia about 6 times a day - no wonder she knows all the words!
We made a trip to Werribee Zoo - 4 Mums + 11 kids! It was a challenge but lots of fun!
The second week was spent chilling out, watching movies, nursing some colds before 2nd term of school + kinder crept up on us.
I'm organising the kinder trivia night in a few months then the outdoor stalls at the market day. Throw in a photo shoot or two. Think I need to be any busier?
I'll store up some energy this weekend with a girls weekend away - shopping, wineries, market + great company. My poor hubby is away to Singapore Sunday for 6 days and will miss my birthday - booohoooo. At least I'll have some snore-free sleeps!!!
Bye for now.
