Holidays over, back to the grindstone!

Well, Big J and I've already been back at work for the past 2.5 weeks. The lil beans started school again on Monday. Lil C started her very last year at primary school, while lil J is on his second-to-last.

It has not all been bad even thought we are really busy bees at the office :-) We sometimes get treated to great lunches!!


~ Lovely lunch ~


And in the past 2.5 weeks, so much has happened.. I'm almost embarrassed to admit that we've been to the amusement park Tusenfryd again (only almost, since I just uploaded pictures from June, and that's the ONLY reason I am ALMOST embarrassed!). This time a bunch of us from church made a trip. Of the ages present: 3 months to 69 years, surely the 69-year old took the cake!! She who from this day on will be forever named 'the COOL grandma' took both the Speed Monster and Spin Spider , and all the other 'fast and crazy' rides and who (in the words of her daughter-in-law) did not scream in fear but in utter joy (sure hope I grow up to be a cool grandma!)

Well, things just kept rolling after that! There were two weddings on the. same. day. Yup. What to do, where to go! Well, big J managed to go to both the church ceremonies. I unfortunately only could make it to the second, but hey, I made it to the cake and coffee that evening for the wedding ceremony that I missed :-) Both brides were beeyouteeeeeful!!

No time to relax, as that Monday was the great BOOK PAPERING DAY. Yes, the munchkins started school and brought home about 100 kilos of books. Hooray!! No I mean really HOORAAAY!! Did I tell you I have a kind of a book papering addiction? I love cutting the paper, folding the corners, taping them, piling the books up with all their straight corners brilliantly aligned in their perfection. Uh-oh.. Hi! My name is Claudia (hi Claudia) and I am addicted to book papering :-D Well, anyway, I think I could have won a gold medal in book papering. Yup me an me fren Keshorn Walcott :-) (I see your blank faces and realize I didn't mention my Trinidadian-ness till now, did I? I's a Trinbagonian!)

It starts!!



The books slowly pile up..



FINISHED!


Now even tho I love book papering, I am kind of glad I don't have to paper books for 10 kids.. My shoulders and back do tend to ache after an olympian achievement :-D

No worries tho.. I'll be back!!
