What a glorious day we have just had. The sun was shining, the birds were singing and the kids were happy. It was 24oC and tomorrow will be 28oC. Spring is well and truely here.
We have finished tidying the yard after winter. The hedges were a bit hairy and they have all been trimmed. It took about three days to do this by doing a bit at a time. There are a lot of hedges in the garden. The garden has also been weeded which was a relatively easy job but there is more to come. Over all the garden is quite low maintenance since the last time we trimmed the hedges was in March. Luckily they are a very slow growing variety.
The kids have enjoyed keeping me company. Titi loves power tools and rakes and brooms, so he was in his element. Arabella loves company so she would chat all the way through, giving you a running commentary on what you are doing. It is so cute.
Simon took Arabella and Titi to a park in the morning and Titi came home absolutely wrecked. Apparently he was practising his balancing and walked round a low wall for most of the morning. He slept for 3 hours when he got home.
Coco's table won the table points for the week (got the most points for doing good work at school and listening) so she came home with a "Caught being good" card. They start the competitive streak early.
It was bliss today - no builders. The house was quiet and peaceful. We are still finding dust but that is a part of life now for a few more weeks (months?).
