Nothing to Report so here we all are with varying degrees of success with the timer

so i survived my parent helper day at pre-school. being a bit of a third wheel, i covered some books which took me right back to covering my school books with brown paper and how crap i was at it then and how nothing much has changed. some pre-schooler's gonna get a fright when he or she opens up their library book! the rest of the day consisted of wandering around offering to help and doing a LOT of washing up after the esp after the play dough making session. then mummy, sorry, i mean Zara picked me up and we tootled back to hers where it seemed like we had our own little pre-school going on with Zara's kids (jacob and matilda), Alicia (Zara's sister)'s kids (lachlan and brodie), Amber(a neighbour)'s kid (kayleigh) and of course Caitlin, all running around. Jacob has recently acquired a trampoline for his birthday so there were a few turf wars being fought, with Zara acting as a peace envoy. i think i am possibly more worn out than Caitlin.

All is now quiet in the house with Caitlin limply struggling to pretend she is not exhausted, but this will be the quietest bath all week which is a giveaway.

James is relaxing by our roaring fire which is being powered by the blocks of wood he manfully hewed on his return from work. i have never seen anyone as excited as James when we finally invested in a wood splitting axe. Sun was back out today and it is predicted sunny and warm for the weekend, thank god, i've had enough already of this grey nonsense. i suspect i may be eating my words come november.

As you can see, an uneventful day and the weekend hopefully will be the same. Mik has threatened to take his kids to some junior rodeo...i have a feeling that shopping at Bi-Lo for our groceries may take precedence.
