Saturday

B was out at the farm overnight. K was picked up by Pa in the morning, while I was out op shopping and then having brunch. E looked after H, including putting him down for a nap. We ended up going out to the farm later than planned (around 3:30 instead of 2), with the aim of taking the little two home late enough that they would crash in the car and be transferred straight to bed. That didn’t quite work out, but we had a nice time at the farm anyway, with cake (for K’s birthday-in-advance, seeing as mum will be away on the actual day), playing in the blow up car-shaped pool then doing races around the house to exhaust everybody, and finally flumping in front of K’s birthday DVD of Hairy Maclary.

Sunday

B was at the farm overnight; they had to take Annie (the horse) back to her owners’ place in the afternoon. In the morning I did more laundry, and E rearranged the green shed. He started tidying the living room in the afternoon til he realised it was part time we’d been planning to go to Baronial Day. I piked out of that due to extreme knackerdosity (after fuck-all sleep thanks to a certain teething munchkin), but E took K off for the last part of the activities and the pot-luck feast. H and I stayed quietly at home and went early to bed.

Monday

B was at the farm overnight. Mum dropped her off at pottery in the morning, and Kate gave her a lift to German, so I didn’t have to go out. Instead I had a JB meet here, although only Ange and Michelle made it. K and M’s son Jack had a blast playing together, although Sam and H were a little less compatible. I had to kick everyone out so I could fetch B, who as usual didn’t want to be fetched, so the three of us ended up having lunch from the bakery before she was ready to go. Then she came home and watched Ranma episodes for the rest of the day. K and H pottered about.

Tuesday

B got up and played LinCity, the Sims analog on her computer, since I had gotten E to disconnect the net cables last night so she couldn’t get sucked into endless Ranma episodes again *rolls eyes* As she had asked me to do the night before, I reminded her frequently and loudly about getting started on her workbooks, and at about 9am she disappeared into her room. I heard noises which suggested that a certain amount of cleaning up was being done as well, but haven’t been in there to look…

K has played outside and in her bedroom, on unknown pursuits. H has pottered about and whinged because he hasn’t been getting endless mama milk… Sigh.
