Have a quite one for the main days this year, just my wife’s parents over. Have pretty much done everything now, last thing is to finalize the Tesco delivery on the 21st December, have until the 20th to do that though.
Presents are all done, got my wife some Pearl Jam tickets for 2018, so she is delighted, just have one Lego model to take back for my son as he keeps changing his bloody mind ( I go through his letter to Santa so I can check what he wants)
My wife is going back to Dublin 27th-3rd with our baby, she can have her family look after him a bit and get a well-deserved Spa day, so I will be home alone with my older son.
So I’m busy planning activities for that period, otherwise he will watch TV all day if I let him, I was pleasantly surprised to see that all the National Trust places around open from Boxing Day, so weather permitting can get him out for a good walk every day. Also have a few other trips to friends planned and some play dates to break the week up.
So not quite the restful break I remember from my pre children days but looking forward to it all the same!
