Let the redecorating commence

It's June half term and I'd hoped to spend it enjoying the sun and taking trips to the park with the children. Instead we've spent most of our time indoors playing, watching films and doing jigsaw puzzles because of the horrid weather. Don't get me wrong, it's been nice, but not as nice as running around outside would have been.

The children don't go back to school until Tuesday as Monday is an inset day. This weekend all three children are going to stay with their auntie, uncle and two cousins for two nights. They are incredibly excited, they love being there. I'm a little anxious. Two nights seems like such a long time. I've never been apart from them for that long. However, Darren and I have a busy weekend planned. As a surprise for the children we are redecorating their rooms. The boys are now in one room and Georgina has her own room. We will be spending every second painting, sorting electrics and making curtains ready for their return on Sunday. I can't wait to see their faces! They are absolutely clueless to our plans. They haven't even asked what we will be doing while they are away.

Let the busy weekend commence!!!
