First day on own

Well today was the first day on my own with the kids in a new town, since Damian had to go back to work, he is doing the 4 days work then will be off again on thursday for 4 days.

Well it started ok

Dakota woke at 6.30am and Lukas woke at 7am

They had breakfast while i had a shower which was great.

I opened up the door for them to play outside, it had been raining but only lasted about 5mins so they went to the dirt area and played nicely

This patch of dirt is up the front of the fence by the front, Dakota loves it, its like her very own sand pit as the dirt is very very fine..

I needed to go to the supermarket so got the kids all ready (Dakota not happy she had to leave her sandpit), got out the front door to cross the road and the rain came again, it did this on and off all day.

Thats when the kids started fighting with each other, and wouldn't behave, they just wanted to annoy each other, so two dvd's got watched, Wiggles and Polkadots, then of course i put on music so they could dance while i got the kitchen sorted.

After the kitchen i decided to put together the last dressing table this took me an hour after the kids thought they would "help"

Well i finally got to sit down and talking to mum, after the kids had dinner and a bath and it went really really quiet, i went looking for them and found this...

Not sure if you can see that very well, but it was on all 4 walls and the door frame, a mess 3 different colours, yup they got hold of the felt pens and off they went, i was one very angry mummy, sent both kids to their rooms to leave me alone.

I posted a picture on facebook asking for help to get it off, jif was working but took a while so sat down again to have a short break then a knock at the door, Kerry my mother in law was standing there with magic erasers so we both went into the room and in 40mins we got all the pen off the walls, those kids are lucky i tell you.

They did go to bed without a story tonight

Damian got home and cooked us dinner as i couldnt work out how to use the new oven thing

So that was the first day, i believe they were naughty because they thought daddy had gone and wasnt coming back, and whatever i told them i wasnt to be believed.
