Wednesday - Friday: With the boys being away on school camp, Nick and I found ourselves leading very different lives! Work at school was bliss with the 'left-overs' going out on field trips on Wednesday and Friday, so the school was quiet and there were almost no interruptions - got heaps of work done including filing :) And do you know, there will ALWAYS be parents who just don't read their notices properly and do the very things they are asked not to do. Would you believe that one parent actually tucked lollies away in her children's suitcases, completely disregarding the big bold paragraph stating "no lollies or electronic devices may be brought to camp"? Imagine my utter mortification when I had a text from the principal on Thursday morning - "Fancy smuggling a banned sugary substance in2 camp via ur kids' bags Mrs Clevely". Only then did I read the rest of the notice properly (I'd folded it in half and only had the 'what to bring' section visible) - my secret plan for being a cool mom and surprising her kids with treats severely backfired :)
So Wednesday night Nick and I had KFC for tea; on Thursday we were treated to an amazing meal at Benny's Again, thanks to friends who gave us a voucher for our birthdays. Fried battered Camembert cubes with a warm plum sauce for starters; freshly batted Sole and chips and salad for me and a huge platter of cholesterol for Nick via steak, bacon, eggs, sausage and chips. It was a great evening out.
Friday we were very happy to see the boys again at 5 pm when the bus came rolling in - I think there were very many tired and happy children and many parents relieved to have their lambs safely folded away in the home paddocks. The boys had a marvellous time on camp with many interesting tales to tell including milking sheep - well done and thanks to Mr Phillips for the majority of the organization, and the staff and teachers who accompanied the kids.
