I have Carmie home sick from school right now. She did a half day on Wednesday and came home with a tummy ache, and has been sick with various illnesses for the past two days too :( There is some virus going around, and apparently she has it. We have both been up since 4am, and she has an ear ache, but she seems in good spirits at least. I sent Arley off to school yesterday and today, as he was being so mean to Carmie, it was making her feel worse! He is back in screaming mode, but only if Jeff or Carmie come close to his toys. Then we get a lot of, "NO! That's MY train track!!" It was a fairly tough week, as the weather has been cold, rainy and windy (until yesterday when the heatwave started). We did get the kids out to the Mollymook park over the weekend when the sun came out for an hour, and it appears everyone else did the same, because the kids had lots of their friends there to play with. It was a brief outing though. Little Arley went through a minor phase of only wanting to eat his food in tea-party form, so I have since hidden Carmie's Dora tea set, because it was quite arduous cutting up his sandwiches into tiny little sandwiches. And pasta was a bit messy (not that he ate any of the pasta anyway), and I thought one little boy should only eat so many grapes and raisins. Carmie opted not to go to gymnastics this week (it would have been her fourth class), and decided to start ballet instead. We thought this was fantastic, as she wears a ballet outfit every chance she gets, and at least once a day makes me watch her do ballet (hmmmm, very reminiscent of my childhood, Georgia....). She went to her first ballet class, and afterwards she told me that ballet was boring, there was nothing to do because all they had was a stage, and could she go back to gymnastics please? So funny.
I got yet another painting commission yesterday, which is awesome, although I am a little disheartened, as I had Carmie in my studio this week, and I like her abstract art better than my own! Lessons learned from a 4 year old!
Here are some videos from this week:
