Take a deep breath. School holidays are officially over. Back to school tomorrow. And boy, do I NEED a holiday.
Daylight savings began this weekend, and while the longer evenings are wonderful, it does take the kids a while to come to grips with the whole going to bed while it's still light thing.
Needless to say I have felt slightly behind in everything today, losing that hour has definitely thrown me out of whack temporarily.
Last ditch entertainment was needed to get us through one more afternoon, and out came the new Ed Emberley books, Make a World and Animals.
And our trusty Spirograph set purchased off Ebay last year.
Here's Poppy's friendly lion.
A batch of chocolate and orange pinwheels were made.
And gardens were enjoyed.
Late dinner for us tonight to help ease us into the time difference. It's been in the oven, gently cooking all day. Slow cooked roast lamb, crispy potatoes and a rocket salad.
And to banish the last of the cold weather, a Sago Plum Pudding for dessert.
Tomorrow will be the real crunch time. Getting used to those early morning routines again and rush, rush, rushing everywhere.
Only 13 more sleeps then its our turn. Relaxing just thinking of it really....

I know exactly what you mean - holidays are great but it's sort of good to get back into a routine - it's packing the lunch boxes that I don't enjoy!
