So whats everyone got planned for half term?

[woolytree]

Were letting DD recharge her batteries but also have a birthday party on Sunday....at the playcentre she doesnt really like but its a possible friend and neighbour so well give it a shot...then its DDs birthday on Tuesday and her swimming party on the Sunday...and halloween!

Were building her visual wall in the hall as a project, timetables, self care reminders and a memory board. :) Shes very excited!

wow a visual wall sounds great. ds would love it but i'm too lazy busy

I'll be working most of half term but we have a day trip planned to a theme park with friends and a very small halloween party. thinking about taking kids trick or treating as very popular round my way but it might be a bit ambitious.

hopefully go out some places and not kill dd4 by accident, or dislocate anything. dislocation applies to dd1 as well as dd4. groups of kids with food items scare me. i am inventing a bubblewrap suit.

well monday, flu jab
tuesday wna wednesday youth scheme.
Friday respite

flu jab! you sure know how to show your kids a good time

Actually that reminds me - ds does really need to go to the dentist (that will be fun

ah shite, i forgot about flu jabs. dd4 cant have it (egg allergic) but everyone else has to be jabbed in my house. better find out when the sessions are and when dh is working.

DS is already home for half term as he has two weeks off his residential school. He's slept quite a lot so far, they must be tiring him out .

I'll have to chase up an optician and hearing appointment but otherwise it'll be hanging out with his family and a few days out in town.

I'm stockpiling chocolate and wine.

Other than that, no idea. I'll probably do the usual baking lots thing with DS1 but I can't really venture far on my own with the two boys. I'm hoping DS1 simply enjoys the week off school (hahahaha) and DS2 doesn't get too bored and destroy the place. Also hoping they don't fight too much. It's going to be so much harder than it was in the summer to have one in the yard and one in the lounge so I can make dinner without them thumping each other.

We have no plans monday and tuesday apart from making a massive tea cake which dd saw on the telly (probably be revolting but it must be done)
ds is going to science museum with his social skills group on wednesday
Then we are going 'dahn saaff' visiting my parents in-laws for a few days

centerparcs - can't wait!

...and the Dr Who show - bleeding advertised on ITV they did Skintymcskint now.

at massive tea cake!

...DD saw Mickey Mouse at Disney Land on TV...now wants to 'hug Mickey'...EEEK! Way to pricey!

Would love to get away but am also skintymcskint! :) Will spend most evenings job hunting for DH...who is having a midlife crisis so quit work...our only income!

...oh well the museums free if I have the energy! :)

DS birthday on Monday so lots of pizza garlic bread and ice cream that day! Visit grandparents Wed/Thurs.

xx

Hoping for a session at the under 5 SN trampolining group one day, gotta stay with him, but by the end of the summer hols he was signing 'magic doors, bounce bounce, music' to ask to go, so hope he should enjoy again. Also the spec needs group he goes to still continues in the hols (yippee). Nanny coming to stay for a few days, so hope that goes ok.....

we have just had our holidays up here and ds is off back to school tomorrow....yipee!

3 days at playscheme, 2 family days out at museum, gallery, or using cheapo national trust membership I got through work. Actually got a few memberships to different things going on. I got them dh for Christmas ;)

Heaven is four days at playyscheme for ds1, one overnight respite plus two half days playscheme for dd2. Will probably spend it filling in dla renewal form though...

Off to the grandparents, so no MN for me . DH probably glad of a break from the occasional shouts of laughter and sharp indrawn breaths......

Monday, coming back from a weekend at Legoland. Nothing Tue, Wed, Thur, with the exception of a hospital appointment with hired help (ds, 2 people care) and a visit from the clinical psyc.
Then Friday am his carer is collecting him to take him to hers, SW has a taxi booked to collect ds from there to take him to respite for 2 nights.................then the party begins......It's my 40th!!!

monday:Badminton with a group of girls with ASD
tuesday: trip to the farm
weds: rollerskating and bouncy castle and airlow in pm
Thursday: Arts and crafts
Friday: bowling and swimming

get the idea we like to be busy
