getting everything under control..

goodmorning australia! and other au pairs who enjoy reading this from america.
today i started my organising. first i went and got the kiddies schedules laminated, i made them last week, and now they are on the side of the fridge (my host mum loves them! woo!) so i can write whats on each day so i don't forget to pick them up/drop them off etc
i went though all the toothbrushes with them and let them choose two each to keep, one upstairs and one downstairs, because it is absolutely unbelieveable how many toothbrushes are in this house! and they now have brand new toothbrush holders to keep them in.
and i cleaned out their 'cubbys' which is where they keep their school bags and coats plus a whole heap of other junk. so now thats all tidy.
then tomorrow i will be doing the wardrobes, which ahh harrison keeps reminding me that they are called "closets" here. my bad.
and i don't think i told you guys that we don't have an electric kettle! its the one that you put on the stove and it whistles when its done! how cuteeeee!
and i have also decided that once i am settled i will start to make a huge meal on the sunday night and eat it for the following week. because the kids food is too processed for me. i'm way to used to mums delicious home cooked, non packaged, everything made from scratch meals everyday :)
hm i think thats all for today..
byeee! x
p.s i saw another few squirrals today. i am still amazed at their cuteness. i would soooo consider keeping one as a pet if they didn't have rabies lol

  1. This is the 3rd time I have tried to post a comment - not sure what I am doing wrong - oh well, here goes: Mumma Bear has taught you well when it comes to cooking good meals. Like you, I love squirrells - saw them when we were in Canada.
