Full circle

Abigail now has what Sam had last week. She was up most of the night with her cough and fever and and bad dreams and not being well.

I was hoping she'd be ok to go to drama and I gave her the morning to see how she was, but by late morning she wasn't any better and we gave up and stayed home. It probably did Sam could to have another day to rest at home...his nose is still running like a tap anyway lol! He has preschool tomorrow although half of me wonders why we should bother....not sure he gets much from it....he's not bothered about going and the teachers aren't exactly 'stimulating' shall we say........

I have high ideals when it comes to preschool education lol...and not much lives up to them.....lets just say that my children learn a LOT more at home from me than they do at school and to be honest I don't think that 'socialisation' at that age is vital ;)

They are still keen for me to teach in the Fall here in SCL...and if I do then I can tell you something - my classes will be VERY different to the classes Sam has been attending recently!!

Abby stayed inside this afternoon while Sam and I went for a walk - we headed off into the woods which have grown like CRAZY this last week after all the rain we have had!! It was like a JUNGLE in there!!!

We went down to the beehives but they were quiet - maybe because of the temperature.

Apart from that I've done laundry, washed floors, cleaned the kitchen, the bathrooms, pottered about and checked emails and blogs etc etc and chatted on my bee forum!! Oh and they came and got Bertha!!! Sam enjoyed that! And I chatted via email to Tess!

Hopefully Abby will be better tomorrow and we can go out - Sam can go to preschool and Abby and I can head somewhere together.....no idea where. Weather is supposed to be good from now on so maybe the park or somewhere. Well Lloyd wants to head out for a walk so I am off out for a while. Byeeeeeee :)

Kayaking on the lake....

Yesterday we went kayaking on lake we live close to. A sat in the front with me and spent much of the time paddling for me. She did a great job and had a blast! We saw a lot of wildfowl out there including Sandpipers and Loons. It's one of the best places in the country for seeing Sandpipers.

Dad!!!

Can you send me your 'recipe' for growing potatoes in buckets please!! I was telling people about it today and I just want to be sure I have it exactly right!!!!!

Thank you :)
