it's very quiet around here

so - how is life in The Sunny Bay?
Danny Boy's last exam was yesterday and he arrives tomorrow afternoon: WOOP WOOP! we are all hanging out to see him. Woozie's school show opens tonight: she is gonna break her leg alright! All singing, all dancing. Charlie got his first skool report this arvo and is seriously rocking the world: egads, these kids just bounce. Sammy played three different instruments in his school literature evening yesterday (yeah, the music was an interlude between all the words lol) and is off on interschool basketball tourny tomorrow. Mousey had a wee go cutting his own hair and so he's currently going by the nickname "hedge" (add a hog and you'll get it - yeah, we ended up giving him a rescue number three all over). Katie is divvying her time between making this blimmin' quilt (which is beginning to give her a headache now that she's nearly got it all together - not absolutely sure she luffs it - might change her mind once she frames it with a border or two) and playing babies and eating too many pies and driving herself mental speaking in the third person. Bulldog is about to write three essays - easy peasy. oh and we had our Māori class this morning and BD's group cheated won chocolate fishies. and - rather excitingly - the shortest day has passed so it's summer again. very soon.
