I had my second week of the craft class with the Pillings school kids today, and managed to find the right classroom after one wrong turn. Just had time to put the scissors out before the kids came piling in, ready and eager for their craft. We made gift bags out of paper, with string handles, and they mostly did it quite well. I was surprised at how neatly the boys managed to fold and glue their bags together, in some cases better than the girls! They made two or three each, and took some extra pages home to do in their own time. The hour passed quickly and was fun.
Yesterday morning the sun was shining and there was just the gentlest of breezes, so after the morning session of school I took the boys to Castle Gardens for tenzees and the remainder of school. I should have anticipated that they would be distracted by being outdoors, and it was pretty bad! Our tomatoes are coming along nicely, at about a 2.5cm diameter now. I last counted more than 30 on the plants. I see a few of them have brown marks on the skin, so I
guess some of them have been infested or infected by insects. The other night after supper, Nick was playing with the boys in the lounge, and Caleb somehow tripped over Nick’s foot and got his mouth a bit rattled, and a tooth fell out! It wasn’t the one we were expecting to come out next, although it was one of the three loose ones – a bottom tooth. So the tooth fairy has ₤1 in her pocket, ready to go in just now and exchange it for the tooth. There was a bit of blood accompanying the tooth, but Caleb wasn’t phased in the least. Hope the photo isn’t offensive!
