"Half Term"

I stayed home with my nanny today, it's something called "half term" and all the kids are home and my mum went to work WITHOUT me! My nanny had to take me outside to 'do business' which was really cool because she let me run around the garden a lot! I still 'did business' in the house a bit, but not as much. I kinda like doing it outside, I get to see the birds and I love the fresh air since I'm not going up to the school. I wonder how long "half term" is, because I want to go to work with my mum - it's a lot quieter, and there's a lot of coughing going on here I think the kids are sick - their noses are dry!
