Last Thursday I put Carly and Alex on the train to spend 6 days with their father at Cowra, and today I'll pick them up from the train. I don't know where the days have gone because it only feels like a couple of days since they left. They'll get the bus from Cowra to Cootamundra, then the train from Coota to Junee. I rang Carly when I got home from work on Thursday to make sure they got there ok and they were at Peter's safe and sound.
I started two weeks holidays on Friday, and Saturday Lauren and Daniel brought the boys over to spend the night with me. The were so good and I had no problem at all although I was a little worried, because usually Carly and Alex are here to keep them entertained.
Saucepans and wooden spoons are still a favourite with kids. Zeke and Riley had a great time making lots of noise.
It's been cold and raining, and apart from a visit with Mum and Reg, I've spent the time at home, and yes, on the computer. Reg got me to look at his computer while I was there and it is so slow. After checking I saw it only had 128 MB RAM, so I offered my old computer to them, which I will add another 512 MB stick, giving them about 1 GB of RAM. They'll be thrilled. That's something I can work on in the next week.
Friday is the skate competition that the Council runs during the school holidays, and with Nikki (Council's Community Development Officer) on maternity leave, it's up to me to run it. Last week I did two movie bus trips for her. Monday was the senior kids, and there were 26 of us. Wednesday was the littlies with their parents and there were 64 of us. I got to watch movies on those days, and had no problems at all with the kids, they were all great. Today I got out of taking a bus to the Handstand Factory in Wagga and one of the other girl's from work is taking them. Friday will be full-on, with setting up and taking entries, but two kids came in to work last Friday and asked to do the judging and commentating for the skate comp so that's one less thing I have to worry about.
