Decorations

My wee ones have managed to put their mark on the decorations already. The decorations have not been up for a week but already the tree lights do not work, one of the decorations has been broken, the side looks a mess, the reindeer at the top of the tree has fell off and one of the eyes from the Santa on the wall has come off.

If I have told them once I have told them a million times to be careful around the decorations. So much that I really do sound like a stuck record. Ah well maybe4 one day they will listen to me...but then again I am their mother so maybe they won't.

Thankfully I had already ordered new lights so that is that problem solved. I have no idea how I will fix the broken decoration, but as for the rest I will clean that up tonight. It is though yet another job to add to my seemingly endless list of jobs to do.

Typically though that when the school is open again after the snow that my wee ones will have to stay off due to my youngest son being ill (bless he really was not happy today) I will find out tomorrow how long I will have to keep them off. We phoned the NHS helpline and they told us that there is nothing that can be done about the mumps. Strangely enough they did not say anything about taking him to the doctors. I think I will do anyway as I would like for it to be confirmed.
