and the boys are counting down to Xmas, yesterday, the boys stayed home and we went shopping for a new tree, as our white one has now turned yellow after being up in the garage roof. It's a black one, and is really pretty, much to my disgust, I got a brochure in the mail after I came home, that said Xmas trees are 1/2 price on Thursday from the place that we bought it at.
Today Cody stayed home, as he still has a cough, we were talking about the Xmas play that Cody is doing at school, and about the Three Wise Men, Olie said "Who are the Three Wise Men, are they in the army? I asked them both if they knew what the meaning of Christmas is, and Cody says, "I know", and I said what, and he goes - "It's chocolates and presents". So it was a trip to the library this morning to find a book about Xmas, so after getting home and reading bits to them, we come to the page about Jesus, and Olie says "Jesusssss" - that's a naughty word, and they're both saying "Jesus Christ" and giggling away. Anyway, after a few giggles, I think they know a wee bit more about the celebration of Christmas:)
We have the caravan listed on Trade Me, now and have 34 watchers at the moment, so hopefully we will get a bidder by the weekend, and we will be off camping in our tents at Xmas.
No bites on the rental on Trade Me at the moment, things are very slow at the moment, after Xmas we are going to list it with Alan at Harcourts, which should get us a lot more coverage, interest rates have come down again, so that's promising.
