3000 hits! and the end of the school year

Hello my dears!



Yes it is true! We have had over 3000 hits on our Christmas blog so far! and another $3000 to transfer from paypal to the TLC account!
Thank you! Thank you!

Schools are closing all across the country now (It is our Summer holiday). We have a few kids at home already and another group finishing early next week. G-R-E-A-T everyone says - don't you?
Holidays ... F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S  - aren't they?

Can you hear the sarcasm and a tiny bit of terror in my voice?

Have YOU ever tried to entertain 30 kids, mostly boys for 5 weeks on a shoe-string budget?

Trust me it can turn the most patient of saints into a foaming-at-the-mouth crazy person!

We are so blessed to have a few Christmas parties lined up but it would be really nice if someone would consider helping us organise a couple of special outings for the school break.

Here are some ideas of fun things they like to do:

Movies
Gold Reef City
Ice Skating
Montecasino Bird Garden
Zoo
Bass Lake

And finally for all my dear, dear personal friends who have been supporting me through this difficult year and who have been worrying about my own health and sanity as we go forward :-)

I am taking a weeks break over my birthday on the 28th at a lovely little place called Aan De Vliet just near the Kruger Park.

I will be taking my wonderful children along, Matthew, James, Mighty, Christian, Jerome, Similo and Ruth. We hope to get into the Park for one or two days and will have a chance just to be "the little family" for a change :-)

We love you all
Pippa
