It's all quiet

The Tanners have left, and it's all quiet. Well, you know, as quiet as it gets with three children in the house. We've actually had to do our own washing up, but mum left dinner for us.

I had a lovely lunch with mum and Mike, then they drove to the airport - hopefully they took off safely and are well on the way to the UK.

I had a frustrating day at work. Every time I tried to do something complicated, a program would crash. I did actually solve one problem by the end of the day, so I left quick while I was feeling good.

At teatime we all did 'happy hands' where each person says something happy that happened today. I asked who wanted to go first and they all threw their hands into the air. So I did eeeny meeny miney mo and we ended up letting Mark go first.

So, Mark, what happy thing happened today?

'Nothing.'

'Nothing?'

'But some not happy things did happen.'

'Like what?'

'Sleepy time. In the music room.'

Hmm. So that was Mark.

Ellie talked about her Y Care teacher, who she obviously adores. And Hannah talked about how they've been allowed to arrange the desks in their classroom exactly how they want them. She is sitting with Pie, of course.

I said I'd had a very happy lunch with granny and grandad, but was very sad to say goodbye to them. Mark checked yesterday what I'd be cooking once granny is no longer here, and I said it would be things like pasta and sausages and pizza. He thought for a while then said he thought that would be okay.

By the way, all the photos below are from mum and Mike's camera. There's various cousins based around the world, and some great photos of mum and Mike's house outside Macc.
