At last!!! The weather is so great at last.......and is set to stay this way I believe only dropping a couple of degrees on Sunday!
I had a nice day......so easy to have a good day when its warm and sunny outside! There wasn't even a hint of a breeze as I drove past those flooded fields again......you could see the reflections of the trees and hay bales etc in the water because it was so still....
I dropped Abigail to preschool and then drove over to the Esso garage to meet Val for breakfast...her little Foster Son won't be with her much longer and that will seem strange - since I have known her (in real life) she has always had him with her...so it will be odd to meet her without him.....he's so cute - loves bouncing - mainly on Vals lap :) Not so easy to eat brekky with a bouncy baby lol! Sam did well until he got bored and decided he wanted to go...but we made it to 11am and then headed home for a while.....Sam played out on the porch with his sandbox and his sit and ride tractor thingy....
We picked Abigail up and came home for lunch...then I vacuumed and did some laundry and then we all went outside...Sam and Abigail put their welly boots on and splashed in the puddles with Charlie our pig....I took garbage sacks and and poop scoop bags outside and cleaned up as much dog poop as I could and picked up a LOT of garbage....
Spring clean-up is a big job over here....during the winter you can't do much cleaning up and so when the snow clears there is garbage everywhere and dog poop etc....not just our yard but most yards and all by the sides of the roads......it doesn't take long to get it cleaned up but its a hell of a job!
I did the front of the house and down the driveway and all arund the garbage box at the end of the driveway......then the children got home from school and we all came indoors...I got in the bath as I felt really grimy from picking up all the rotten poo and garbage.....Chris made me a cup of tea.....
Lloyd got home and I started dinner...we had those garlic veggie balls with rice and vegetables and Thai sweet chilli sauce (mmmm)
Now Lloyd is painting in the girls room...the chidlren are doing their chores (dishwasher4/ feeding animals etc) and Abigail is drawing portraits of everyone....
Tomorrow I have to go into town and get a birthday gift for Susannahs friend....I also have to go to the scrapbook store for some adhesive and a very BIG brad that I need for the Iron Chef Contest.....and maybe some walnut ink....
Tomorrow night is family movie night at the local community hall......we have to take cushions or chairs to sit on and there is a big screen for the movie to be shown on.....and they are selling refreshments :) so I am taking Laurie, Susie and Abigail - and a friend of Susannahs......
Then Saturday is SCRAPARAMA!!!!! Yay :)
