A full day out!

On a spur of the moment I decided that I wanted to go jeans shopping today and had not had any luck with the local shops. So a phonecall to my mum at and we arranged to go to the next biggest mall with the kids for a few hours later on in the morning.

Then the speech therapist phoned to cancel our morning appointment - the universe must have heard my message that we really wanted to go the local homeschool science and technology fair instead. So we headed there for an hour or so before going to pick up my mum. We saw some neat displays - rubber band powered cars, bridge building, plants soaking up food colouring and some water rockets being launched amongst many other cool things. Nathan got thinking about something he'd like to organise for next year.

Stepdad decided he wanted to come along too and suggested that he take the kids to the pools nearby while we shopped. So the kids had a great time with Grampie swimming and I had a good time with my mum shopping at leisure. We didn't get home till 4.30pm, so stayed at their house for dinner and watched a DVD.
