The girls have been at camp this week, having space-related fun at school. Today. Exile #3 has been building a model of Saturn and Exile #4 has been painting Neptune and cooking and eating blueberry-muffin asteroids. All this has allowed Exile #2 to take the other members of the family to some appointments (i.e. E5N1 and the car). Somehow between the camp-runs and the appointments she has already found time to transform two rooms in the house. Our bedroom (often neglected due to its non-public status) now has a desk with clear surface and a clear and tidy corner that had previously been occupied by the last remaining boxes dating from our move and this evening Exile #3 has a clear and clean carpet and a tidy room - and a challenge to keep it that way!E5N1 meanwhile has had the run of the place during the day and that is becoming increasingly problematic - he is now combining his penchant for messing with (and if possible destroying) things with increased speed and mobility including climbing-stairs and now, to our relief, a reasonably safe descending-stairs technique - hopefully he'll conquer that before he beats my dodgy improvised stair-gate arrangement. This is how he gave the girls a send-off on Monday morning.
Dear Exile #2: Much respect to you! How did you manage that?! All tips gratefully received!
