The countdown begins again...
It has been a busy and very off schedule week. 19th at worksite by 9am. We spent the day touching up paint, sanding and priming walls. Later in the afternoon I spent some time with my boys- as I hadn't seen them since Thursday. I was swamped by excited children (I think some had thought id gone for good! ) They were all very well behaved for me at bedtime- I should go awayh more often :-) 20th- preschool went so well that we ran ...
Week 7

Another week
... with some little girls. I think the new system worked quite well. In the afternoon volunteers abby, sarah and I took joseph (3), josephine (2) and silus (4) for a walk.

That night we skipped putting the kids to bed and went to surjios for someones birthday (though we found out later it wasn't their birthday) ...
