This is what Holly proclaimed today when Justin told her that it was time to get dressed for school because it was Monday. Fair enough too – the weekends always seem to go by quickly!

There were a few knocks and tumbles over the weekend. Holly fell off the table and bruised her bum; Meg crashed her bike; I was pruning and a branch thwaked me in the eye and then another across my cheek; Jess falls over every other 5 minutes and hurts her head; Amy keeps banging her head into the cot bars; and the best of all….I was intending to open the freezer which is at the bottom on our fridge, but opened the fridge door by mistake and banged it right into my forehead. I totally saw stars and have a sore bump on my noggin!!

We had a major gardening working bee and I hacked my way along the fence line to find a set of steps, a brick retaining wall and concrete on the ground (albeit covered in about 2 inches of soil, leaves and ivy roots). Then we cut down a lot of tree weeds, to find 2 fruit trees, possible apricot and plum, another lemon tree and a Holly Tree (hanging over the fence from the neighbours). We took all the rubbish to the tip which is not like us at all. We normally leave it to rot around the backyard for a few years until Justin can be bothered to cart it away!! So it now looks all lovely and tidy and I can’t wait to see if the new found sun on the trees gives us some yummy fruit.

My time is almost up here, Meg has the clock in her hand and is waiting for her turn to play games. I’ve been doing some scrapping so might see if I can complete the layout on my desk while the kids are occupied!! Catch you later!
