Sluffing the last day of school

Today began earlier than normal for most of our family members as we went into the city for a day at daddy's work. Madi sluffed her last day of school for the occasion since they were just cleaning and moving furniture. After getting on the train at peak hour with three children - I don't know how Kev does this every day, I think I would go crazy. We got to go inside the elusive orange retro AMEX building complete with badges for the kids to wear. They had snacks to eat, face painting, and balloon animals. Best of all, yep you guessed it, Santa paid a visit. The kids had a great time.
Then we decided since we had already made the long trek to the city we might as well check out Santa at David Jones. The magic cave was pretty good - although not what I thought it would be. Although the talking tree was amazing. That tree answers every question the kids ask it. The kids had a great time, but I am not sure the hour and a half wait was worth it. All for the adventure of seeing Santa - who we didn't even get pictures of because they are too expensive for me and they won't let you take your own (what is up with that?). Oh well, check that adventure off our Sydney list...

We are off to carols night at the temple that should definately bring the Christmas spirit.
