Thursday in May

Posted on

I love watching the Autumn leaves fall off the tree,
and
I love sweeping them up!

It is so satisfying to have a pile of leaves and a clear driveway/path. I would do it everyday but I think the neighbours would start to believe I was a bit obsessive compulsive!!

So Thursday is my “work” day. Mum came to take Meg and Jess, I put Amy to bed and got 2 hours of work done before she woke up. I am actually looking forward to a time when I can get back to the office to do this work rather than from home with the many distractions. Maybe next year….!

On Tuesday I arranged a Morning tea at playgroup that was in conjuntion with “Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea”. We raised over $42 which I thought was really great. The kids did some craft which was making masks and also threading fruit loops onto pipecleaners to make bracelets. The fruit loops were in little containers for each child and I think I just should have added milk to Jess’s because she ate the lot without threading a single one. Then they all ran around with their tiger masks on and Jess declared “This is freaking me out” at which everyone peeled over in laughter. She really is quite a character!

Amy is crawling fast. Everywhere. I call her Hoover because if there is a single thing on the floor she will grab it and eat it. She is very efficient at crawling up the stairs now and once she gets to the top she stands up holding onto the bannister, and grins madly down at us. It is so funny to see such a small person standing up.

Holly had a cross country race last Friday at school and came third in her agegroup. She bought home a shiny bronze ribbon to add to her collection.

It is 3pm and Meg is pestering me to use the computer. We have found a great website for her to play on. The link is here if you have a preschooler who would like to play!

Ok have a great weekend!
