Busy busy

Have had quite a busy week in all. Alan's parents left on Tuesday. Then on Wednesday Heather had choir before school and ballet after school. Thursday I took Heather to school on the bus in the morning as we had a coffee morning at 9am. That was fun as we all brought something to eat and the younger kids played happily. We use the church hall so there's plenty of space. I made shortbread which always goes down a treat.

After the coffee morning, Jamie, Ziela, Michelle and I went for a walk twice round the lake at school then Ziela had a meeting so Michelle, Jamie and I (and respective kids) had more coffee at the cafe opposite the school in the Sletten Senter. We drank more coffee and ate lots of brownies, cheescake and Singapore noodles until 3 when we had to collect the kids from school.

Friday was quieter. I did some housework before heading to the school to collect Heather. Ziela drove us home which was good as it was raining again. Friday night, we put the kids to bed with a video and popcorn then we lit the fire and Alan and I snuggled down with a DVD. Anchorman - have you seen it, it's hillarious!!!

Saturday, we went over to Michelle and Jorgen's for lunch except Ziela was making fried rice but she didn't arrive until after we left at 3! So we had hotdogs with the kids instead! It was good as we hadn't met Michelle's husband Jorgen yet. Alan and Jorgen seemed to get along well, similar work clients, etc.

Today Ziela and Erland came over with their 3 daughters Hannah, Nadja and Zara. Heather and Hannah played upstairs while Hamish and Zara just fought as usual. Nadja was quite content playing with Hamish's toys. Zara and Hamish have a kind of love hate relationship. They're only 2 days apart in age so they fight a lot but Hamish still kissed her when she left. They all left around 4 and took Heather with them so Hamish is now watching TV and I'm enjoying the silence!
