After the usual morning routine of breakfast and kids TV till 9am, Nathan was wondering what to do, so I suggested that we could start to plan his stall for selling the potatoes. He was keen to do that so we wrote up a list of what needs to be done - bag up the potatoes, write a sign with the price and what is for sale, set up table and chair, have some spare change etc. So we first up bagged up the potatoes into 1kg bags. Since was a Tuesday and not a lot of foot-traffic going past our house, I suggested that he might like to wait for a weekend and in the meantime we would need to make a sign anyway. He was making plans for what he would like to buy - at this stage another Tintin book is the top of the list.

Nathan then wanted get out the Magnetic Kit again and work through some more of the projects. We both loved this one where we had several magnets levitating. We found if we bounced the top one they'd spring up and down like a spring. Fun.

After lunch we went down to the library and the supermarket. We spent a bit of time reading together which we haven't done so much of lately now that summer is well and truly here. I started reading the original Pinocchio story to Nathan tonight (my mum bought us a boxed set of unabridged classics) - we haven't read in the evening for weeks since he's so tired by 7pm. He literally has dinner, gets ready for bed and falls asleep. So I was pleased to get about 10mins in at bedtime of the usual 30-40min session.

Well, we're off camping for 3 nights this coming weekend to the local Organic River Festival - I'm not sure how relaxed I'm going to be, but we're planning on having a great time anyway. The kids are really looking forward to it and getting to hang with friends for 4 days!
