- gave their mummy and daddy a sleep-in by playing very nicely in their bedroom for hours. Lasted until they came to blows over which colour toothbrush they wanted, since K had changed her mind and now declared that blue is uggerly and she wants ORANGE, to which H replied MIIIIINE! *thump crash* WAAAH.
- were entertained by watching the remarkable operation of removing the shipping crate via remote controlled truck base.
- dressed up as pirates and played in the back garden.
- went to the post office in Geeveston with E.
- played in the garden some more (it was a gorgeous day) while we did some sorting and tidying and laundry.
- went to the library in Huonville with E while I did some shopping and dropped a box off at the oppy.
- mini pizzas for dinner as soon as we got home, then I read 30 pages of The Little White Horse to K while H drove E to distraction until he finally managed to get him to sleep.
- K was put to bed, but got up again and played with the abacus and was generally tiresome until eventually she couldn’t keep her eyes open any more.
Sunday (recap)
- I made bread, and a quick bean and potato soup for lunch, and the kids entertained themselves.
- E took them to Franklin for a play on the playground after lunch, while it was still reasonable weather, and then they went on to Huonville and picked up some new pegs and mousetraps and various other things. Both kids fell asleep in the car on the way home.
- N and her other half D came round to pick up the wall unit around 4ish, just before it started raining again, so K got to play with their daughter B for half an hour or so, and renew their accquaintance from our holiday last year.
- E locked himself in the shipping crate and catalogued comics; I made muffins and more bread and a pasta bake for dinner; the kids were bored and annoyed each other and us.
- read more of The Little White Horse to K before bed. Unfortunately their late nap meant that neither of them wanted to go to sleep for ages, dangnabbit!
