We're two weeks in to a month without the kids. My parents took them on a road trip through Victoria and South Australia, and up to the Northern Territory. It's so quiet without them. I still find myself waking up and thinking that they're asleep in the other rooms. Or thinking that I hear them stirring in the middle of the night.
I rang the kids last night. Ben said he was looking forward to going out at night with grandad and a torch and ripping the heads off grasshoppers. Alice has a grasshopper plague (it's been ongoing for a while) and they're eating mum and dad's fruit trees and vege garden. Ben said it's fun. At night, they're immobile, and Ben and Andrew say they catch at least 50 each.
Liz, thanks for your kind comment on my log cabin blocks - the first time, but not the last, that I make log cabins - they're so much fun!
ReplyDeleteI hope you're not missing your boys too much - they'll be back home before you know it! Take care!
