Laybys Are Done.

As of today we only owe $1 dollar on a layby. Hooray! We have to leave a bit owing on the account apparently because the store's computer can't handle a zero amount. I'm not allowed to pick up my layby until the 1st Dec as it was a Christmas layby that I opened in the July toy sales. Riverting information to anyone who has just read those first few sentences

The 2 boys and I went to meet Santa at Myer today so that the boys could have their photo taken. When we got to Santa their camera wasn't working properly so the 3 of us had to wait for 1/2hr. Bailey ran through all the Christmas decoration display continuously and then proceeded to run over to the toy section. He must of remembered it from yesterday because he knew exactly where it was and he knew exactly where all the Thomas the Tank Engine toys were. Once I rounded the boys up we went to wait over by the Santa stand. Surely it wouldn't be that much longer.

Eventually the 2 boys had their chance to sit upon Santa's knees. They looked so handsome and gorgeous. I was really proud of them. Once I had collected our photos and then collected the children we all headed back to the car to continue our journey. We had to look at the photos first over and over again. Once in the car we drove to another shopping centre where I had my last layby. We also picked up the missing toy that had mysteriously disappeared out of a layby we had had at a Toyworld shop. It was back in my hands. I felt much better about it. Kmart beckoned and in we went. We paid our layby (except the $1.00) and out we went. Now the 2 boys and I actually just walked around the shops for a bit. 5 minutes later I was bored of that so outside we went.

We piled into the car and I thought as a special treat, because the boys had been so good, that we would stop at the lolly shop. Bad decision. We won't ever go there again. Let's just say that we walked out of there pretty quick. From the way the man behind the counter glared at me he looked very glad to see us go. So we left. Then we headed home. Both boys fell asleep again today which was fantastic. I raced around doing everything that I could possible fit in in the time of children sleeping.

The rest of the afternoon was spent outside playing and then I went to work and daddy and the 2 boys went back into the shops to top up on food. It was a good day-I achieved a lot of things on my to do list before Christmas.
