To the youngest 2

Hi Meabh and Clodagh,
i just read your blogs and they are brilliant. Imagine your last days at school. So, we'll be on holidays together when I get back.
can't wait. Love Mum.

The last full day

The time has flown by and yet is seems so long since i saw you guys and i am getting excited now about landing back at Dublin airport and seeing you all and getting big hugs from the 4 of you.
I have done a little shopping for each of you and look forward to giving them to you.Little African treats.
Hugs and kisses to all.
Loved reading your blog last night.

The News.

Hi Mum,
How are you? Everyone is good here. 
Yesterday, (Monday) we swapped classrooms, and I went up to 5th. Mr. Mac was there, and he explained what we would be doing next year. He said he hoped we would be able to do some wood work, which sounds very exciting. 
Today we brought in our bikes. Not everyone could bring theirs in, so we had to be split into 2 groups. First the boys went, and then the girls. We went to Aughinish. We paddled, and of course someone had to splash Ailbhe. I won't say who that someone was, but I'll just say her initials were K.B. If you can't guess by that, I will think that you don't have a brain bigger than a pea. 
After school today, dad brought me, Clodagh and Ailbhe in for ice-creams. 
Tomorrow we are having an end of year party. I will bring in toffees. 
Thats all for now,
Love Méabh. xxx

Just in case you're feeling homesick ....

Things to do (and some that are done) this evening:

check bags
get out uniforms
lunches - hey, it's your week .... hmmmm....
check hair (affirmative)
do stories (ok - I enjoy this one !!)
get girls to bed
clean kitchen

We had a great and (in the true Dada tradition) low-key day. Overcast but dry and warm. Big breakfast after mass ... worked out fairly: Méabh served Mass, I served breakfast!!! Easy afternoon with Sunday snooze for Alana and me. Lovely dinner (Fajitas) put together by Doireann. The girls have been incredibly helpful all week. They are all very tired. D. just took her inhaler as she is very caught up - but between swims, travelling, strange beds, helping with (ok, seeing as she is going to be reading this I'd better be accurate: ) DOING the laundry, giving Alana a tour of the attic, etc she has done really well. Also, I have failed miserably in getting them to bed at anything resembling a normal time.

Going into work in the morning and I'm dropping off D & A at the bus in Kinvara for a days shopping. It wont be a full day as I have to do a shopping for food and also pick up Mum and Mary at Athenry around 5-ish (tbc!). I'm going to offer Mary my car for Tuesday if the 4 of them want to go to Quin for the day (I hope to spend some time Tues in work as well).

Better head to bed (via the sitting room for 20 mins).

Good night and God Bless.

A quick note ..........................

Hi Mum !!!

Just back from Wicklow with Alana. The journey passed very quickly.  Everyone's healthy and happy apart from my asthma seems to be playing up :( but i'll live........................... :)
Better go help dad unpack :(

Lots and Lots of Love,
Doireann xx

Down in Wicklow

Hi Mum,
How are you? 
Meeting the Chief sounded really cool! 
I can't believe that you've been gone for just a week. It seems like it was ages ago when we dropped you off! 
Last night Doireann, Alana and I slept in the T.V. room. Doireann and Alana slept on the pull-out bed, and I slept on the couch. We stayed up late, watching most of "You've Got Mail". We didn't go to bed until 12:25. 
This morning we stayed in bed until 12:00. Then Alana and I went with Poppy's to the shop. We got potatoes, a newspaper and an apple crumble.
The weather is very bad, so me and Doireann's plan to teach Alana how to play camogie isn't working. 
Today we are going back to Galway. 


Thats all for now,
Méabh. xxx
