Monday 9th November: Sunny but a chilly wind. High of about 16 degrees. Steve donned the coveralls and spent the morning strimming weeds. Mum and Dad set off in our motorhome for their first NZ advernture - due back Friday. The boys and I schooled. This week our topic is Remembrance Day and we made some poppy flowers using real poppy seeds in the centre. The rest of schooling went well too so we were finished by lunchtime. All the boys were keen to do some tasks from the "Chance card" box to earn points to swap as special time with Mummy. They all chose to use their 10 minutes showing me computer games they like or racing cars on the Game Cube. Steve materialised when the Game Cube was plugged in, and he was engrossed in racing cars when I took Peter and Jonathan off for gymnastics later.
It wasn't the usual Monday-teatime-rush today as Steve and Edward were eating the tea I had prepared when we got home, Steve was staying as parent help at Cubs and so in the absence of a babysitter I was missing taekwon-do again. I haven't made a single class yet this term but there are a few weeks left so I might get there yet.
In the evening Steve and I sat and watched a film and caught up with what we'd each been doing last week.
The picture is of the new round table I got yesterday, and the old rectangular table as the new computer table in the front room.
