Where Did That Week Go?

I don't know! One week was spent looking after the five littlies who caught another tummy bug. All I seemed to be doing was washing, wiping, changing, holding, washing... They have all recovered now. Went to town Monday, and then again on Friday. Spent a fair bit of time catching up on the local goss with the neighbours. Did some sewing and a lot of reading. Kids have been pretty quiet. Some new cubbies went up over the week. Jack saw a red belly black, Elsie saw a brown, have seen heaps of echidnas and wombats, too. Black cockies have been screaching, and the rain arrived in torrents today.

On our way back from town this afternoon, we met our neighbours. They came out and had a cuppa which turned into dinner. Very nice people. They own the local roadhouse, so we're going in there for dinner on Tuesday night. Kids think that's pretty cool.

So, what's the upcoming week hold? Well.... John should be arriving Thursday for ten days, and then returning to where he's coming from. We are in the throws of cleaning, organising, filling the pantry, tidying the shed, picking up all the stuff that the k's have dragged into the yard. (I told them they remind me of puppy dogs that insist on dragging every bit of stick, rubbish, paper, bone, string, plastic and anything else that can be dragged into their yard, and expecting the boss to be pleased with them!) We are all so excited. We're down to counting hours now.

The budding photographer has been happily snapping some more Wallaby Scrub shots. I'll post them tomorrow though. Everything is silent here. Fire has died down. Children all asleep. I wonder what surprises tomorrow will hold for us....
