Life as normal (on Sunday)

Life goes on as normal. No power all day Friday (I was going to do washing as we finally had a full tank of water, but then the power went off-sigh!). No power  Saturday afternoon and now the power has gone off again-argh!!!!!! Yes I have got the dinner in the oven and it isn't cooked. Two days of power cuts and I was so sure we were good to go today. Now I need to work out how to cook meat loaf on the gas. Pretty sure I can transform it into spaghetti bolognese! Not sure about the baked potatoes.

Caleb is off to his fourth party in two weekends. His first was at an art centre where he made a very cool wooden plane. That was 2pm-5:30pm on the now infamous 21st. The next one started at 6pm on the same day and was an angry birds sleep over. I really didn't want him to go because of the terrorists on the rampage, but I did as it seemed to be no point in spoiling his fun, just because I was edgy. This weekend he went to a Bear Grylls camp out, which he returned from this morning. A few hours break and he is on to a pizza and swimming party for the afternoon. It's going to be hard to pry him from his bed tomorrow morning at 6:30am for school. Caleb lives life to the max.

As Caleb was away, we decided (randomly) to give Joshua and Bethany their first driving lesson. No time has not gone fast, they are still 10 and 12, we just have a small automatic and a big compound, so it seemed like fun. They loved it. Bethany has had a second lesson since. Caleb was mad when he found out. Not sure his legs are quite long enough!!
