After yesterday's soaring temperatures it was a bit surprising to wake up to rain and grey skies this morning, which continued throughout the day. No matter though as we had no outdoor events to attend, unlike yesterday or last Saturday. Harvey Norman's monthly photo competition is on the theme of macro and as there were no other entries in the album yet, we decided to help them out by providing several photos. We have loads of aphids on our roses so those were easy takers, and with today's weather conditions the flowers were all beautifully decked in rain drops. Later in the day we found a spider so he became our unwilling model too. So much fun!
Aaron had a birthday party during the afternoon - good thing the swimming pool is indoor and heated as it was a swimming and McDonalds party. He came home in high spirits with a bag full of party loot. He and one other boy were the only invited guests - apparently the birthday boy thinks they are the only 'cool' boys in his class :) Quite an honour for our little friend-maker though. Caleb was not in the least put out that Aaron got to go...he amused himself by pottering about in the house and the garage and reading. We could probably leave him entirely on his own for several days at a time with enough bread in the freezer, and he'd fend quite nicely for himself.
Not that the whole day was fun and games though...I also cleaned the house quite thoroughly, did some ironing, and finally got stuck into packing away the boys' homeschool books and sorting out the big bookshelf. I had been avoiding this task as I thought it would be odious, but once I had started it wasn't so bad.

Caleb and I are two birds of a feather. It is not to say that I do not like people because I do but I am quite content to putter about by myself.
