we even talked about curriculums!
A much needed lay in all round this morning saw a lazy start to the day. Ady had picked up a box set of Simpsons videos yesterday in a charity shop so Davies and Scarlett watched some more of those until it was time to head off to Tasha’s.
It’s been way too long since we saw them properly so Tasha and I had loads to catch up on, which we did admirably over much tea drinking (for me) and some very fantastic cake. The kids disappeared and played inside, outside, upstairs and downstairs, only surfacing every so often for feeding. They also rather loved the cake :).
Tasha and I finally thrashed out some plans for getting a few local Home Eddors together for creative workshop type stuff which we’ve been talking about vaguely for ages but not previously managed to discuss at length. Feel very positive about that :). It was a really nice day 🙂
We got home just in time to collect another 4 eggs from the henhouse before they all started going to roost. That’s 11 in 3 days which suggests most if not all of the 12 hens are now laying 🙂 A few odd shaped ones these last couple of days means some of the new hens have laid their first eggs and I know our 2 speckled hens are both laying as they have very white shelled eggs. Hurrah :).
Dinner for the kids and then I got a fire lit, the washing up done, the house hoovered and a bath running and read them which is a version of the story for book club this month – we have other version
Then I packed the children off to bed. Ady arrived home shortly after I’d done so so he went and said goodnight to them and when I popped in to check on Davies just after 830pm I was staggered to find him asleep. Davies. Before 9 o’clock!!! Unfortunately Scarlett didn’t get to sleep until nearly midnight and that included all sorts of nonsense which I fear I veer between dealing with really well and really badly, often within moments of each other :(. She went to sleep smiling at least.
After a rather last minute potential childcare crisis my brother is coming over in the morning to look after Davies and Scarlett as I am working, so woefully short on my usual couple of hours of everyone-free time I usually relish each night I am going to bed too.
