A busy airport

Wednesday 9th September: Warm sunny and calm again. High of about 19 degrees. All the bedding was washed and dried on the line today, it was so nice.
We schooled in the morning and the boys worked better than yesterday. They particularly enjoy the books they are reading out loud at the moment and enkoy hearing each other read. Edward has started reading the first Harry Potter book, and Peter is reading a really silly book by Jeremy Strong called "My Dad's got an alligator". It really suits his sense of humour.
After lunch we headed out to the house again and had a house full of workmen, which was great. There was some problem with the colour paint we have chosen for the walls, but hopefully that will soon be solved.
From there we drove south to Waimate Airport for a Keas outing. We were treated to looking over a Piper Cherokee and a microlight, and the children got to sit in the Cherokee in pairs. Then one of the owners turned up and offered to take off, do a circuit and land again. That was enjoyed by everyone there. The children then made paper planes and played running games on the runway. I gave Edward the small camera and he enjoyed taking lots of photos of anything and everything.
Home for pasta bolognese for tea and banana and date muffins. Fresh bedding on the beds and off to bed for the boys.
I spent the evening typing up minutes for the gymnastics club and some patterns sheets for Taekwon-do, and had a quick chat with Mum on skype about Paxo versus Sainsbury's own brand!
The lamb in the photo is a tiny new addition to our neighbours of the new house, and the others are of the boys enjoying the airport trip this afternoon.
