Last night was lovely..........once the house was quiet, Lloyd and I sat out on the porch drinking tea (how English is THAT???? lol! It wasn't orange pekoe thats for sure...........what IS that stuff????)
We watched the storm clouds rolling in and then WOW the wind just hit and it got really cold.......I took the throw outside with me but it was just too cold in the end and too windy........so we headed inside.
The winds must have been really strong because the lid of Sams water table was over by the barn this morning and the hummingbird feeder was empty....there were splatters of sugar water all over the porch!!! So I have made another mixture up and its cooling ready to go in...but my poor little hummingbirds haven't had any food from us today...................
Thunder woke me up last night....I only heard it once and fell back to sleep so I don't know if it rained here or not...it didn't look as though it had outside this morning......
Chris decided he didn't want to go out today so offered to babysit Sam......Sam had been up since 6am so it worked out ideal! I took the others and headed into town. We picked up Lauries friends (the twins) and took them to the homeschool group...stopping off for a big box of mini donuts for everyone at the group on the way.
HS group was nice........because Sam wasn't with me I got to just stand and chat which made a nice change......L came with her DD Susies age and so Susie went off happily playing....she took my camera for a while so I have some pictures of D to send to L..............Laurie and his friends played soccer and then made little movies with my camera of 'Sasquatch'...a story where they chased Abigail around the field and parking lot mainly...there were some good special effects though (we won't mention the fact that one scene ends with Abigail 'mooning' the camera GULP!!!)
Christie turned up! I was chatting and someone came and stood beside me but It didn't register who it was lol! Then she moved in front of me and I'm like 'Oh wow Christies here'.........so it was nice to catch up with her and basically we spent the whole time chatting about nothing much...like how big headed Linda Steele is and how Johnny Depp could just walk in the hall at any moment.....and useful stuff like language resources and whether its better to have a DH who acts like a mole leaving clutter in piles dotted about (Lloyd) or whether you should have one who just 'scatters' clutter (L's DH)...............
A little blonde girl ...beautiful little girl....kept coming over to us and then came over and gave me a huge hug...she's a sweetheart but I am not sure whose DD she is!!!
I had a picture in my head of Christies MIL but now Christie has described her the picture is totally wrong!!! CHristie I need to see a picture now lol!
After homeschool group I drove the twins home and Laurie ended up staying and is sleeping over again there tonight (and they say homeschooled children don't socialise!! Ha!) - the boys are sleeping here Friday night and I may suggest they come to MP with us Thursday.......
Because I only had the girls with me I decided to take them out for lunch.......that was nice and Susie had a hge plate of her ufavourite chinese food! We ran some errands at the mall and strolled around Chapters where I got a couple of magazines and the girls chose one each too..............
We went to the library and the girls played the summer game...it ends this week.....we will have to go in on Thursday to see if we can finish the game before it ends......
Finally after the library we headed home.......Chris and Sam were fine.......they'd had a fun morning..............
Samantha phoned and reminded me there is a party in the park this evening....Sh had asked if I was going too, but I'm just too tired to venture far tonight........Samantha also said she was putting in an order for Avon so I ordered another 20 of my deodorants....Avon roll-ons are the only ones I'm not allergic to. Samantha is working at the party tonight....she dresses up like a clown and does balloon modelling etc...shes just fAB with little children.....
So Lloyd is home now......we've had dinner and I am going to go out and walk the dogs...so far today I have done 11,450 steps......I found my step counter!!!!!!! So I am going out to add some steps to my number for the day!!!
Tomorrow I am having a quiet day at home YAY!!! And Christie is coming over after lunch to scrapbook....woohoo I may get a page or two done...I hope!!! I am so behind!!
Oh and this morning before I got up I wrote some more of the letter that I started last night to Carla!!!
And I forgot to add that Susie got a letter from one of her penpals yesterday.....a little girl who lives in the north of England.......she enclosed a picture of herself at her first communion! Very sweet!
I bought raspberries today again.......so we will sit and have a bowl of them with ice cream tonight! Yum!
I haven't taken any pcitures today......the children took a few at the HS group this morning but I don't liek to add pictures of other peoples children unless I know they won't mind....so I think I will take my camera with me while I walk the dogs.......
Watch this space :)
