.The Apprentice.

I got me an apprentice on the weekend. She is good value – works hard and is good company during monotonous pattern folding stretches.

And she is all mine.

If you are looking for an apprentice, go somewhere else! Thanks Tayla!! See you next week 🙂

.we just couldn’t wait any longer.

3 years ago Oscar didn’t know what Christmas was.
2 years ago he opened his presents on Christmas day and said “wow” over and over again.
1 year ago he was excited when Christmas day came.
This year he has been asking us every single day for the last week if we can put up our Christmas tree with heaps and heaps of decorations and lights and presents underneath.

We couldn’t wait any longer…the tree is up and the carols are playing…we like it!
