I was up before sunrise today, which is not so impressive if you know that the sun currently rises at 8.12 am :) French toast for breakfast, mucked about, nearly ran late for Aaron's 10 am ukulele lesson - story of our Saturdays lately. Took Caleb to the optometrist to get his glasses straightened again (the frames are not very sturdy), then Rachel came at 11 and whisked both boys off to their place for the day, where they joined up with Caleb and Josh, and also Peter and Harry Lucas who were visiting. That left me home alone once more - I love it! I cleaned the house, organised Nick's drawers, did the church newsletter, had a music practice, and made another two batches of biscuits, so the little pile of vacuum-sealed 12-per-bag cookies is growing. Regarding the dough logs, a good idea is to freeze them - thanks to Kate and Genevieve who both offered the suggestion.
At 5.30 I joined the boys and Miriam at the Cameron's for tea. Great to see Miriam again and catch up and have some girl talk.
Rachel has healed up incredibly quickly after her riding accident last week - stitches out already, swelling down, and hardly a scab to speak of, but smiling is still tricky.
After tea the four older boys wanted to do a circus show so found appropriate costumes and practiced their acts. It was really funny and Aaron, who is usually debilitatingly stage-shy, managed to get through his lines in character with some improv when he forgot the script. Well done boys! Rachel's comment was that it had been painful to watch...I thought that was a bit harsh because I thought the performance rather good, but what she actually meant was that the laughing had hurt her lip :)
Matt had been practicing a piece on the piano and I had been instructed to bring my violin and mandolin. We had the Goodsirs pop in for a while too for their girls to play the piece on piano, flute and violin - quite a musical evening. We even found Rachel an instrument - iPad guitar :)
