Ergh. Did stuff. Last week. Lots of stuff. Surely? I wish I could remember any of it…
Sunday. We had another huge crafty morning – the puppet craze is still going strong. K made heaps of sparkle fairy stick puppets, and I made H a big bad wolf finger puppet out of felt. Katy and her smalls came over for dinner.
Monday, HIP. Tuesday, supermarket shopping.
Wednesday, at home day because E took Myrtle into the garage for her roadworthy inspection.
Thursday, went to library and borrowed books and DVDs (101 Dalmatians and Beatrix Potter animated episodes).
Picked up an elder daughter on Friday, and had lunch with E at a fortuitous noodle bar in Glenorchy. H and K took B for a walk on their little path, then they played with playdoh that B had brought for H. They contemplated walking down to the Betty park, but it was too late and cold so they went out and played with the go-karts down the back instead.
Saturday, took the smalls to Franklin for fish’n’chips at the park. Was soggy from lack of sleep, and had no enthusiasm or ideas for what to do beyond that. E stayed at home and cleaned house for inspection. Since he wanted the kids to stay out of it while he got stuff done, I dropped B and K at the park near the bottom of our hill, and then in a moment of inspiration, gave them money and told them to walk the rest of the way down the hill to the shop to buy iceypoles too 
They played at the park for ages and came home with rosy cheeks and daisy chains in their hair. E returned the two Narnia movies, and borrowed Nim’s Island for K, on B’s recommendation.
Sunday, packed picnic lunch and went out to Hobart to a Dollhouse and Miniatures Extravaganza, which was deeply awesome, and also took care of the question of what to buy B for her birthday, since we just gave her money and said “Go for it!”. Investigated potential theatre performances for small people:
We finished On the Banks of Plum Creek, and now we’re reading By The Shores of Silver Lake at bedtime. B has been reading various picture books to the smalls as well.
