trials and tribulations

Even though my legs are stinging I will still eat blackberries.
I don't eat 'em I just pick 'em.
The poor mouse, then we burnt them...then we ate them anyway...not bad!
Bear and Monkey are nearly finished their try out week at German kindy before the 3 week holiday. After that they go every morning. It has been a fairly smooth transition to kindy but a pretty rough week at home. They must be working hard to keep it together at kindy that it all just falls apart at home. And Mouse has decided to only sleep 40mins the last two days. So we are ploughing through this week, hopeful to crest the wave again.

That said I have learnt several things this week.
a) even when cooking goes incredibly wrong, you have to use the play dough rolling pin (thanks Bear for thinking of that one) and you burn the biscuits it can still be a whole lot of fun.
b) one shouldn't wear one's hair down, wear a "puffy" shirt and ride a bike. It just feels like you are in a 1980's prog rock band who has paid extra for the wind machine.
c)always wear long pants when picking blackberries......and pick the ones up high because of fox wee. oops found the last part out a bit late.
d) kids can surprise you and eat all their dinner even after the biggest total melt down ever.
e) always take rain jackets in Germany....I actually remembered!!!!!
