A Saturday with no football - hurrah. Smallest was glad of the break too. The boys and I watched Spy in the Wild (BBC) very interesting and a bit funny. Huffle joined us for a short while before we made personal pancakes (instead of a pile of small ones, we had one bigger one each). Smallest and Huffle played Chess.
We sat and wrote a list of what we needed to do today and made Small try on Huffle's shirts and ties. On Monday he has Graduation photos and he has to wear a white shirt and a tie and they get to borrow a graduation gown for their photos. I find it all a bit silly but that's what they do here. The shirts were too big for him so we put shirts on our list. I also made him try on his jeans as he has lost lots of weight, or grown taller, or both recently so his bigger waisted jeans are too big and his smaller ones now fit him again. However he needed black trousers and white shirt for Band too.
Armed with our list, we headed out. First stop was The Tire where Huffle brought a windscreen wiper for his car and I got a replacement bird feeder. The kids played tig (is it tic or tig, I can't remember) and we popped to Walmart (eeeuuuggghh hate the place) for a rug for under Huffle's desk in the loft and some toiletries.
Next stop was Small's shirt which we got and a pair of chino style black trousers with 'flex' so he can't moan about not being able to move in them, and a new pair of joggers. By this time everyone was hungry so Huffle took us to the Pizza place where we went with Moo when we went for a huge walk New Years Day. We all had personal Calzones which were perfect and lovely though Smallest and I had to bring some of ours home as we couldn't manage it all.
On the way home we went to Bulk Barn for sweets for the kids, nuts for Huffle and Flax Seeds to make a new Heaty wheaty bag (one of those bags filled with wheat or on this case flax that heat in the microwave) that I am planning to make. We did our research this morning and Flax is good for retaining heat and small enough to mould on your body in a bag. We bought easily enough for one bag and it only cost $2 (just over £1).
Back home the kids were separated and sent to read in their rooms to stop annoying each other, I knitted and crocheted and Huffle tidied. Later we all started watching Harry Potter (the first one).
