Another warm day :)

20c today I think. Sam had preschool this afternoon so Abigail and I spent the afternoon at the park. I met my friend Samantha there for a while and caught up with all her news.

Abigail met a friend and had a blast playing on the climbing frames and I also got some studying done which was good :)

After collecting Sam from class we raced over to Holy Spirit to get Laurie and his friend form their badminton tournament. So very glad my children don't go to that school - what a nightmare that place is every afternoon with traffic!!! It made me glad my children go to a quiet rural school!!!

Headed home and got back not long before Lloyd. My Beekeeping for Dummies book arrived in the mail which was good. We dropped Lauries friend home.

We tidied up in the yard a little and Lloyd worked on the vegetable garden - the black dirt arrives on Thursday - 5 truck loads of it!!!! Woohoo!!! All ready for the weekend!!!

Tonight we had the first thunder storm of the year :) that was nice :)

Lloyd barbecued again which was also nice :)

Lloyd and I just washed all the floors and now we are going to bed - yes at 8:30pm :) early night to read and relax. We were laughing and sayingw e wondered what people would think if we were to video us washing the floors together and blog it - would you all think the way we do it together is crazy...we have this method you see and its probably quite different to the way most people wash their floors.....

If we were Jon and Kate and were filmed all the time what would people make of us....

We were asked once to be filmed as a homeschool family for a year. A tv show were looking for a Canadian family to film for a year. We changed our minds in the end. I wonder what people would make of us if they were flies on our walls all the time lol! I'm not much different to how I am on my blog lol. Not really. Am I Val? lol!

Hhhmmmmm Charlie has eaten everything we gave her and left the tortilla licked clean on the porch...she liked the hummus and coleslaw and burger and everything else...just left the wholewheat tortilla!!!! GREAT!!!! now I have to go out and get it :(

Never a dull moment here ;)

Goodnight all :)

I ordered my Mom a little gift for Mothers Day at the weekend and the Etsy seller was going to mail it yesterday. I called my Mom this morning to say that it was on it's way and to not open it until May 11th - as it was for Mothering Sunday!

Too late - it arrived today!!! How fast is that for service???? Wow!! My Mom had already opened it and loved it :) It's a Fairy Door :) or Fairy Portal :) This one belongs to a fairy who has gone away on holiday!

Anyway - you can place them in the garden or by your baseboard/ skirting board and you can use them to entice fairies into your home! You can also use them to entice the tooth fairy into your home to get your childrens teeth!!

You can find plenty of them online at my favourite website etsy.com!!!

I hope the link above works to see the picture!! It's just 15cm tall :)
