Evening Sailor

Well, the washing machine is working again. There was a little computer board down in the bottom of it that was the cause of all the fuss, that was replaced and away we went. Yay, 10 loads of holiday washing done! Well, it certainly seemed like that much.

So then I took the car off for a much needed service and repairs to ready it for rego. That took a large chunk out of our savings! And to make matters worse it conked out twice on the way home. I took it back in the next morning and the throttle was cleaned out and the idle adjusted and now it runs beautifully. Oh, and last night I discovered that one of the headlights has blown, but that is a job I can do myself. So now I have to take it to a LPG service place so that I can get the pink slip.

Work is going fine. I was sorely missed and have been told to never leave them again, lol. The kids area was a mess. I have now got that pretty much sorted, with the help of a work experience girl.

The kids are fine. Matt runs around laughing when other people laugh, which makes us laugh, lol. He says 'cool', and in context too, which is pretty neat. Planes are still 'bus' and Wiggles, Thomas, Bob, and Elmo are still 'Elmo'. He feeds himself at the table, no more highchair for him. He likes water and says 'wawa' when he wants a drink. He still has a bottle, but has destroyed three teats in as many weeks, so I need to get serious about weaning him off it. He doesn't like getting dressed, as soon as he is naked he runs away. Matt's favourite food is popcorn. He also likes apples and loves cheese.

Will is a speaking actor in the school play. He was in it Tuesday and it runs again on Thursday. We went to the Tuesday session and he did beautifully. Will's favourite meal is meat pie and chips.

Scott is his usual self. He has some dark fluff on his top lip, I teased him about it. His favourite meal is.....ummm....I can't remember. We were only talking about it the other day....Oh, spaghetti bolognese.

My favourite meal is beef stroganoff with garlic bread.

Oh, I measured the older two this week, Scott is only 10cms shorter than me! Will is definitely taller than Scott was 8 yrs old - 4 cms taller in fact! I haven't measured Matt yet, have to get him to stay still long enough.
