just another morning here

A busy yet lovely day here … trying to get sorted out for yet another weekend camping, this time we are off to Greenbelt. I’ve said for the past ten years that we’ll go ‘next year’, and finally we’re going. Really looking forward to it.

Spent most of the morning and lunchtime entertaining Max, Merry and the girls, which was lovely – there was wooden castle roleplay going on in the front room and Serious Animal Crossing going on in the back room I must get some more princesses for that castle playset though, they are *always* fighting over them, even Josiah! And despite having no less than 6 ACWW towns between us, we didn’t have a good turnip price in any of them, pah!

They left to go to Dartmoor and Moretonhampstead Carnival – we tried to make it out to the carnival too but Steve ended up being late at work so we couldn’t get there in time Robyn was with us for the last part of the afternoon so we took a trip to the park with her, and then played around at home.

And the day ended with the kids having tea in the kitchen, us sitting in the back room, suddenly Anna shouted “the fish has jumped out of its pot!!” repeatedly and with more urgency, and almost crying! It really had somehow flipped out of the bowl and was lying on top of the fridge! Steve ran into the kitchen to rescue it by which time Josiah was crying as well, but the fish seems unscathed, thank goodness Anna saw him do it! There is now a colander perched on top of the bowl in case of any more escape/suicide attempts

Joe was so excited this morning when he remembered he was getting a fish today. He chose the ‘orangest’ one And he’s called Digger because diggers are orange.

And apparently, if I’m going to kill it I have to do it within 7 days to get a free replacement … !!
