3 Weeks Bed Rest

That is generally what I need after any length of school holiday, and now that the latest two week visit people and be visited extravaganza that would be soooooo nice. But, it was great, and visiting Sharon was unexpectedly relaxed, thanks to the Reids themselves as well as having our own 'suite' at the top of the house, complete with a tray of goodies....it was the drive back that stank.

Then the Mitras showed up, and I always assume Shub will get plenty of photos, and he does, but I always forget to get them before they rush away. Anyway, and as usual, it was lovely and the kids played great together. Maya happily gets bossed around by Mae, and Jamie studies the adults for inadequacies, which he finds in abundance. Hilarious, although being an evil genius it will only be cute until he is about 17. And Mae loves her gift- here's a successful photo of the coolest glow writing toy!!! Love it!! I write to her every night after she's asleep.

Now that the holiday is over, the weather is beautiful. It turned nice on Saturday, when Mae took her hard earned cash and bought a DS- which she has been coveting for about three years, when she used to carry her play cash register around pretending it was one.

The next nice day (Sunday) I had promised a movie, so we went to see Nanny McPhee. I tried to talk her out of it, due to the weather and the fact that we helped ALOT with the DS, but no go. I was able to get her out later for some sun.

So back to school for her today, and me, cleaning, culling toys, planning party and wallpapering (it's almost done). After dinner we invented a new game. Roll the rasperry. I even got photos, although next time I need to go to the toilet first, because I almost ended up peeing myself!

ha ha ha!!! Did both you and Geoff take turns catching the raspberry?

Jen said...

nah, just Mae- I was laughing too hard and Geoff saw no point and just ate the raspberries.

Bethanne said...

No point??! Tell Geoff the point is to eat the raspberries in such a way as to make your wife pee her pants.

Why did you have 3 weeks of holidays from school? Is that a Scottish thing? Looks like you had great weather (and company) for it!
