Whew… I made it! A little breeze can’t keep me away.
Day one saw me peeling potatoes with Gracie while the rest of the other 500 children were at school. You weren’t kidding – she could eat, and eat, and eat, and… eat some more.
Jo showed up and had to run straight to the bathroom and wash her muddy hands and muddy glasses (I didn’t ask. I probably should have been a good auntie and investigeted, but, to tell you the truth, I was a little worried about what I’d find out. she seemed fine, so I left it).
When the boys came home was when the real excitement began! Apparently a dog accidentally followed the boys home and it ended up in the house. Seriously!?! On day ONE?? Sigh… so I called the number on the collar and made Cameron wait outside for the guy to come and get his dog. All was then good again in the land of Holman.
The kids had a snack, coloured and are now waiting for dinner.

We are having chicken strips, mashed potatoes and salad. Mmmmmm.
Chico has fallen in LOVE with your space heater. He hasn’t moved all day.
