Shopping

Being shopping day and there being very little in the fridge and pantry, we all headed to the supermarket after dropping Elsie off at work. It wasn't too bad today, we only filled two trolleys...
Emily received a gift voucher for her birthday and was to use it to purchase a bedside lamp. Today was the first opportunity we had to go to the department store and so (against what every bone and muscle in my body was telling me) we headed for the shopping centre. She chose the prettiest lamp with glass panels and gold trim.
The rest of the day was filled with lessons and craft, and finished off with a swim by the older children. A little chilly for a swim, I thought, but the children assured me that it was a really hot day. Willem watched them swim while he made a 'horsey soup' in the empty terracotta pot. Unfortunately, that included ingredients from the other terracotta pots that have now been defoliated. Ooops. Oh well, leaves grow back.
