I am so tired this evening....having Samuel sick has been exhausting - he has had no energy and has just been on the sofa all day...occasionally moaning and whining in a really sad way.....
We found out the cause though - really bad constipation caused by ONLY drinking milk since he was sick last week........so we now have corn syrup to put in his milk to help 'lubricate' things...and also some prune juice.....he normally eats so much fruit and veg that I guess going a few days with none and JUST milk caused problems :(
Anyway, I have been spending a lot of time trying to console Sam.......what else did I do today? Hhhmmmm laundry, cleaned bathrooms, washed floors (after Rosie got in and stole much of Dan's lunch and tracked muddy paw prints everywhere lol) I made a tray of fudge brownies and a loaf of chocolate emergency cake........
I also taught Dan to make Kraft Dinner!!!! Lol! YUCK!!! It isn't something we eat here but Dan wanted to try this Canadian staple...so we bought a big pack at Costco and today we made it - he added a tin of tuna to it and really liked it lol! So he can take the other packs with him when he moves out lol - in fact maybe he could take a couple of packs back for Oliver and Isaac to try!
I want to get some Goldfish for Isaac as well - he can take them to school in his lunch bag!
When Lloyd got home and Sam was a little happier, we all walked up onto the side fields and onto Marys land (our neighbour has 80 acres and lets us use it for walking, quadding.......) we took a nice long walkl and then came back to the house and headed down to the pond...we threw sticks into the pond for Rosie and she LOVED being in there swimming again!
We spent ages trying to find frogs (they are sooooo LOUD) but depsite climbing through the woods to the back of the pond, we couldn't get any!
Back indoors and I made couscous (Daniels request) with veggieballs.......I always add diced peppers and onion to my couscous.........we had some broccoli with it too....it was delicious - most of us had ours with Thai red chilli sauce mmmmmmmmmm
Dan has been working on a 'special' project since dinner......he's getting creative :) and now he is heading down to the pond with his camera and guitar to sit in the sun and serenade the frogs (lol)
Lloyd and I plan to watch Little People Big World and I wnat to go to bed early because I am sooooo tired.
Chris and Laurie are setting up the badminton net outside and Susie is bshowering having completed her science project tonight (designing a playground using certain things like pipe cleaners and plasticine..)
Can't think of any other news we have for now....
Byeeeeeeee.....
