The Friday Gentlemen's Club
This is the last week of the summer holidays, back to school next Tuesday. They have swimming lessons this week, a couple of playdates, but not too busy. Last week we were house-sitting for some friends in the countryside, which was mostly very nice and relaxing, but I always have lessons to learn and last week's lesson was...don't think that a field, treehouse and a house full of toys and books means you can sit back and read peacefully all day. Boredom and fighting is inevitable. It is actually difficult for four children to make their own peaceful happy fun and entertainment for 14 hours a day. It sounds stupid and naive as I type it out, but I really thought that was possible.

Why is it when you paint facial hair on you must have a serious face? And why is there a drivers licence in the pic? and WHY cant kids entertain themselves!!?? uugg. it would be so lovely..can we send them to a class somewhere to learn how?
ha! I just realized that wasn't so much a "Leave a comment" as it was a string of questions...
More questions; when why and who are these bandits? And where are the missing ones?
ah yes. you have painted a very visceral picture of yourself struggling (in the countryside, so even more isolation) against a gang of small girls (were they mustachioed, even then? that would even more challenging).
Ha ha!! Watch out... Heather is already practising her disguising skills... and trying to look older to match a fake ID.... maybe you DON'T want this one entertaining herself!
(To contribute to the questions - all of which I'm sure you'll answer: Is that John's NS driver's license? If so, why would he have that? An international one would have worked for the year he was here... easier to get, I'd have thought.)
