Friday 21st August: A frosty start, then sunny late morning but clouding over and grey from lunchtime, high of about 9 degrees.
We started the day with piano lessons for all 3 boys, and their teacher complimented on how well the boys behave when they are waiting for their lesson. Today they got through their maths work. From there we walked to one of the local schools for the boys to be seen by the school denal service, which was fine and they don't need to be seen for a year.
We walked home and the boys did some writing while I got lunch ready. Straight after lunch we drove to Timaru to meet up with the kitchen people to confirm plans and pay the deposit. They have said they will fit it 21st and 2nd September. The boys were beautifully behaved again, and the man in the kitchen shop told them how great they had been, so as a reward I took them to Chipmunks, the soft play centre nearly next door to the kitchen shop. The boys ran and climbed and slid for an hour while I enjoyed a pot of tea and read some gossipy magazines!
We called in at the new house on the way home and were delighted by "Lamb Chops" skipping and bouncing around the paddock while Giddy the Goat and Mummy Sheep were munching on the carrots, cabbage and apple I had brought along.
Home for pork meatballs and ginger biscuit ice-cream. Steve is on-call this weekend but still managed to go off to his friend Greg's to talk some more about aeroplanes.
The photos are of the Chipmunks soft play - much smaller than the boys were used to playing in in the UK but they still managed to burn off some energy.
