Busy, busy, busy....

....as always. The last few weeks have been flat out. The next few weeks will be the same so nothing is new LOL.
I went to a historical village today with Miss Mikaela for her class excursion. It was a heap of fun and really interesting. Besides being in charge of first aid, 6 small children and their assorted paraphenalia it was surprisingly enjoyable.
I seem to be the Mum on excursions that the teachers automatically assign the 'liveliest' and most 'spirited' boys (very diplomatic hey!) My 3 male charges today were too gorgeous but very busy. What is it with boys and munitions? They all wanted to see guns. Nothing else, just guns....and bombs. They like bombs it seems.
As part of the excusrion, the children all dress in period costume...every busy mother's dream. I Sewed up a little bonnet and pinny for Mikaela last night while simultaneously cooking the chicken Kiev, listening to Ethan's year one reader and watching the news. Today I am tired.
Here is the little Miss. The photos are bad as I was juggling 6 water bottles, the first aid kit and assorted gem stones. This is Mikaela with her gem stones from the sifting activity.

Inspecting her gems....I haven't the heart to tell her that her agate is not worth enough to buy a NintendoWii.
The little bonnet I made. I didn't get a decent full length shot.
How funny are these pics from a birthday party Ethan and Connor attended on Sunday. I love the expressions on their faces and the static hair. Too funny.
