As a matter of fact I have started thinking of Christmas. For one I want to do the little boxes again. Not only was it a lot of fun, but it meant that we could do some quality activities again. And of course the girls were able to experience the true meaning of 'giving'. So that means I have to make little boxes again. They didn't all stay nice unfortunately so I can't really re-use them and if I start now then I will have more preparation time to come up with some fun activities. We will definitely deliver biscuits again to one of the local retirement villages (and in fact just next week Bianca will do this too as part of one of her home learning challenges). But along with that I am also thinking of getting a few small presents together that the girls and I will take to the children's ward at Wellington Hospital and deliver it there. I remember when we were stuck in hospital how frustrating it felt at times so maybe we might be able to brighten some children's day.
Speaking of Christmas - If you are looking for the perfect stocking filler - Bianca's teacher, Paul Forster is selling his picture book titled 'You're not eating me' that he wrote and published (how cool is that?). It is this really cute story beautifully illustrated and along with it is a CD with 12 songs that Paul wrote including the 'You're not eating me' song! Bianca has a copy that her teacher gave to her for her birthday and it is definitely one of her favourite things! And I bet if you ordered a copy and asked Paul, he would even be happy to write a special message for the recipient. Just think you can give somebody a signed copy of this book! How special!
