ACTEWAGL workers came round to fix the burnt pole in the back yard – had to remove some of the fence to fix the problem but they said they’d replace it afterwards (I haven’t checked on what they did, since I forgot about it after we had gotten home).
I went through the HENCAST newsletter and RSVPed to the activities B was interested in. Checked with my mother whether she would be available to supervise B and K at ice skating next month if K was interested in going on the ice (yes).
Pottery and German.
MiniQ for K and H.
Library – read books, borrowed books.
Op shopping – bought little chicks for Easter craft, embroidery cotton, Zoingo Boingo, handbag for K, dress for B, toy phone for H, abacus, bracelet.
Home- pootered, then cleaned dining room/play room, had argument, B did stuff in her room then came out and helped.
B: watched lots of Ranma, played on Howrse and Horse Isle, played games, posted on Joyous Children, looked up BOM website when it was raining, did some gardening in between rain showers and downpours.
B: helped with the sorting of piles of crap on the dining room table.
K: playing with fluff from the dryer, including dunking it into water and using it as a sculptural medium. Also started drawing different animals today – I remember a mouse and a rabbit but I’m sure there were more…
B & K: watched a mini documentary on an Indian company which employs rag pickers to collect plastic bags then transforms them into fabric for making handbags etc (linked from CAA Oxfam catalogue).
