DN's School House

Last Saturday, we spent a rare afternoon at home. Rare because our weekends are usually crazy packed. Two weekends ago, it looked like this:

Sat : Zoo with Katriya, Lunch with Katriya and her parents at United Square, Some shopping at United Square, Nap at home, 80th Birthday Dinner (PF's grandaunt) at Carlton Hotel

Sun : Regular morning walk to the market with Kong Kong, Zoo with Jovann, Clarence, Arianne, Reubern, Rae Ann & Clarice in the afternoon, Dinner with everyone at Orchidville

That's why on weekends, DN only naps once a day (no time!) and his poo is, erm, "less than usual" (no time!). And that is why on MONDAY, DN takes 2 naps of a total of 3-4 hours, and why he super-lets-go an amazing amount of crap that day. I think his body and mind is finally calm, relaxed and free from all that insane zipping about on Saturday and Sunday.

So it wasn't surprising that we felt super uneasy when we had no plans last Sat afternoon. It was like an out of body experience, too surreal.
Me (to PF) : "So what do we have on this afternoon?" (we'd already gone to Botanic Gardens in the morning for breakfast and to feed the fish)
PF : "Hmm... nothing I think."
Me : "Nothing??? Are you sure?"
PF : "Yeah... I think so."
Me : "..."
PF : "..."
DN : "..." (twiddling his thumbs)

So we dusted the castle and blackboard, set up 2 fans in the front, called some neighbours over (Katriya - 15mths, Dillon - 19mths, Daryl - 3yrs & Denise - 6yrs) and ta-dah! The kiddos were suitably entertained for about 3 hours. Katriya's mom even brought over K's trampoline.
DN's School House Fees : $800 per month

(please bring your own trampoline)
