The boys camped in the tent last night.....I packed them up some snacks and a flashlight and they seemed to have fun out there :)
The plan was to take the twins home today via the library so they could all take part in the sumer reading game there and so Susie could get her own library card (something she's desperate to have) but Abigail didn't feel well all morning (maybe too much sun yesterday) and was in bed crying a lot with tummy ache and a headache...so we stayed home.
Laurie now has the twins here and some school friends here hanging out...
Susie, Abby and Sam just made lemonade and are now at the table doing an archaeological dig for skeletons. We're having a quieter day today inside and mainly out of the sun. I love my airconditioning :) Tomorrow we will be out in the sunshine again so its nice to have a day inside even if it wasn't planned!
Chris has been at work all day...weeding. He's home - as happy as ever....grrrrrr....I don't think he should be doing this job. Lloyd thinks he should be doing this job LESS. Chris of course thinks he knows EVERYTHING and continues to work as MUCH as he can....can't wake up on time and snaps at us constantly...but there ya go....15 year olds know EVERYTHING.....
He leaves for camp on Sunday....we are not allowing him to take his cell phone with him (another thing he hates us for I'm sure lol in fact I took it from him yesterday) and I am hoping the break does him good - I hope he meets some good friends he has a lot in common with....I hope the break from all this physical labour does him good....summer holidays at 15 should be about having fun with your friends not about killing yourself on some old couples acreage all day every day. Its crazy! I'm proud he has stuck it out and is earning good money but he also has to learn to say no and learn to say he wants days off! There aren't too many years left where he can just relax and have fun with his friends!
