Teacher Only Day. No School!

The older children were up at 6am, eagerly anticipating the day ahead. They'd been looking forward to a visit to Timezone, the games arcade, for weeks. We got there at opening time, and they were glad to be the only ones there, as most other children were at school today.

she discovered a piano game. A new favourite!

Strike!!

Lunch at Taco Bell was another treat in the bag for them, on top of all the candy they redeemed at the arcade. 

It was an interesting afternoon as the children ended up being invited to impromptu playdates with their friends. Our 2nd and 3rd children spent the afternoon with the Drake siblings and our 1st and 4th children spent some time with the McVey siblings. 

I was properly tired by the end of it, and so grateful that we'd prepared dinner before we left in the morning. I was glad to have all the children back together again, though, and so was our little lady, who missed her brother and sister immensely while they were away.

At dinner, our big girl commented that it feels like a Sunday..boy am I glad that the weekend has only just begun!
