Sunshine!

Wonderful, beautiful, fantastic SPRING! :)

For the last two days we've been blessed with Mother Natures very best... Birds chirping in the trees when I wake, little budding blossoms in the garden, mild weather and brilliant sunshine!

I LOVE spring! When the wind is no longer painfully cold and the sun finally feels warm rather than just provide daylight...no freezing fingers or toes and scarfs are accessories rather than a must... :D Kiddies no longer need the warm winter overalls and can put trainers on and leave heavy winter boots at home... :)

I've finished early both today and yesterday and been able to pick kiddies up at 2 and then we've had hours in the garden before finally coming inside for dinner... We've gotten quite a bit done in the garden too! All the old leaves have been cleared away (arms, hands and shoulders are sore from walking around with the leaf-blower two days in a row) and S removed some low-hanging branches today. Tomorrow's forecast is looking good too so I'm hoping we can get on with trimming back the raspberry bushes that have spread out of control at the back of our "garage". :)

Love, love, love spring!

School still kinda sucks but next week we're out on work placement for four days, observing how children play, and Easter Monday's a "holiday" over here so no school again until Tuesday! Yay! :) I will however need to find the time to do the essay over, the one I blanked out about, over the Easter weekend...but since I get to do it over as a home assignment I feel much better and should manage it OK.

Good news! :D I've also found out that I might possibly be able to use the "points" from my old grades even if they first were deemed too old to use towards my "diploma"...! Via the student counsellor I've applied for a revaluation of my grades from the headmistress and hopefully she'll give it an OK which would mean a whole year LESS studying than I had originally planned for!?! :D That in turn would mean that I can possibly apply to Uni for the spring term 2010! :) Scary, exiting stuff! :D

I'll find out in about a month how it goes... *fingers crossed!*

Now I'm going to bed! Hoping to sleep very well with this tired, slightly sore body of mine... *yawn*

p.s. Today at the dinner table, noticing the "left over" space, Anton said... "Why is there not more children at our table...?" *lol* "That's a good question...ehm....would you want there to be more children at our table...?" (answering a question with a question can be a life saver! ;) ) "Yes" :) ...and that was the end of that conversation...time to think about more siblings? :/ Or perhaps invite a friend over for dinner! ;P
