Friday's Coming!

Wow! Thursday night again... how can some days seem so long & yet the weeks keep flying by?

Yesterday of course went just beautifully, being Wednesday and all! Playgroup in the morning, then off to gymnastics, home to play outdoors for awhile & then a leisurely bath (for them, not for me unfortunately!). When Murray came home we went back into town for Family Fellowship dinner at the church. Yummy meal, lemon chicken, mashed potatoes, vegetables, rolls and apple crumble & ice cream for dessert! The kids did really well & behaved beautifully. Sweetie, with a little prompting, turned to the lady next to her and said "Pass the bread please?" She realllllly wanted a roll!!! Lovey just ate bread but the other two did a half decent job on their meal. It was actually just one kids' meal & we split it between them... they were much more enthusiastic about the icecream! (surprise, surprise!)

Once supper was over, Murray was on his own... I had a class at church. We're studying the book "Captivating" . I wasn't sure how he'd make out but he said it went fine. They should have been tired out enough to settle down nicely in bed, but I wasn't sure how they'd react to me leaving them there & how Murray would make out getting them out & into the car etc. but he's such a pro now, they didn't give him any trouble!

Murray's changed up his routine and now gets up at 5am to go for his run, rather than do it in the evening. After the kids go to bed, I go for a walk with a neighbour down the street & then come home, work on pictures, watch some tv & avoid housework as much as possible! He usually waits for me to get back from my walk & then goes for his run & then stays up all hours of the night programming Road Hockey. He's getting up too early to do that now & actually goes to bed by 11. Either way he's running in the dark!
