Thoughts on a Sunday night/ gifts for kids

flowers at Irene Market

First off, I'm behind with blog reading a bit because I had one day out of the office on Wed and then a full day of meetings on Thurs (I think I had maybe 1 hour at my desk, if that).

This is a sign of things to come as the new job (which I don't have... YET :)) is very project-based and will involve a month or two on a project (i.e. not at desk) and then about 2 - 3 weeks office-based.

So it's going to be interesting.

Because I do like being caught up :)

However, the decluttering has helped because I don't feel like I neglected people that engage with me.

Nevertheless there are still 50 posts in my Google Reader.

Moving along...

I've been super productive this weekend - organised the fridge, freezer, D's desk (that was like 3 areas rolled up into 1), Kendra's hair things, school "art" and my desk.

I was also super inspired by Cat's post about parties and party gifts. Isn't it cool that she was also thinking about twins going to separate parties when I wrote that class parties blog?

About the party gifts, this is what I commented on her post (lightly edited):

I buy all the stuff when I see them on special but sometimes they don't quite "go" together. Like I have 10 colouring books, only 2 packs of crayons, etc. so I ended up sometimes running out and having to get some more stuff anyway.

So this afternoon I unpacked ALL the gift stuff and made present piles. I have 5 boy presents ready, 2 sets of twins presents and 4 girl presents. I feel awesome!!!!

What are your go-to gifts for the 3 - 4-year-old crowd?

Louisa, these bird cages are rather fetching :)

We also had a really busy weekend yesterday with fridges arriving and whatnot (new-to-us, not new) and then us dashing off to Irene to the market with friends, and then to their new house. More on that in about 3 months' time (!) in a proper post with pics.

As we're talking in the car, Kendra says, "are we seeing Aunty J and Uncle P at their house?"

D says, "yes, Baby, but first we're going to the market. To market, to market..."

K (without missing a beat) to buy a fat pig

We all howled with laughter.

My silly K :)

This week I have nothing planned except my usual coaching calls which means I'm going to have lots of time to do good work on my business. My not-so-secret plan is to have about 15 of my 18 goals done by June so I can coast.... let's see how that works for me :)

What are your priorities for the week?
