Tuesday morning

Another sleep gone and another day dawns. This is the kids' next to the last day of school for the year. Jarrah is already involved in the Headstart program at his secondary school where the kids advance to the next year level for the last 10 days of the year. So Jarrah is doing Year 9 work at the moment. Jade received her end of year report for Grade 3 yesterday (it was outstanding) and this afternoon goes to meet her Grade 4 teacher and classmates. Tomorrow all she has at school is her class Christmas party. She is really looking forward to this as the class hasn't had any parties all year. I think they are also watching movies at school too. The kids are both worn out and ready for a break from school.

I wrote most of the Christmas cards last night. Will finish them off today and mail them off. Whew!

Jarrah has a quick orthodontist appointment this morning to check that his wires aren't getting too long at the back of his mouth. He only got his braces on on the 17th of November and won't have his first adjustment until January sometime. I hope we don't have any orthodontic emergencies on the trip!

Today I'm going to make a quick trip to the shopping centre for a few essential items: USB charger for a Nintendo DS (V Australia provides a USB outlet in economy for charging!), a couple of reading books for Jade and at least one more plug adapter Aus-US for our many electronics items that need charging. Thankfully they all accept 110-240V so the difference in voltage isn't a problem.
