Home movies

Lately, Calum has taken an interest in our home movies of him. Funny enough, he doesn't necessarily like the older ones but prefers the more recent movies. We took some footage on the weekend, not much, but enough to keep him entertained. He likes to watch it and even says his lines along the way - exactly as he said them on the day. Funny boy! If I want to get him to do something I only have to tell him "Let's go work on our movie" and he's off. Maybe by the time he's 5 he'll be directing his first movie. Don will probably try to convince him that tornadoes are interesting things to film.....he hasn't managed to convince the rest of us yet.

Calum and I slept in again today. It made for a much happier boy when we got to the Old DC though. I read a few quick stories, said hello to all of the toddlers, acted as their jungle gym for awhile (three kids on my back, one climbing over top and two jumping around me) and we made bugs with the play dough. Calum tried to get me to read more stories as I was leaving but settled in quickly when one of the staff started in on his favorite book about spiders. Looks like it will be a better day, if only I can get myself to wake up a bit more. Why doesn't Starbucks deliver?

The school year is almost done for the girls. The last week of school is approaching. They always try to convince us that it's not worth going - final marks are in, the teacher is playing a movie, no one else is going (seriously, no one), the teacher told them they didn't have to go......if they don't intend to do anything in the last week why even pretend that they are? It always takes a little getting used to though, having them at home again. When you work from home it's both a luxury and a challenge. Some days are easy and the work day flies by, others it's hard to ignore the laundry or the little distractions like the cat.

Hope you are all having a good week.
