Weekending

It's Wednesday and I'm posting about what we did on the weekend, that's not too late right?

We didn't really do much of anything last weekend either, but one of the amazing things about kids is that simple things are so exciting for them.

After failing my first attempt we successfully babysat the day care mice from Thursday night to Monday morning (I forgot to pick the mice up the first time we were on the roster!).  The girls loved looking after them, getting their food and water ready and covering them up with a blanket at night.

They weren't terribly impressed with me not letting them get the mice out of their cage though.. the closest we got to that was letting one of them run around in their plastic ball for awhile.  I was too scared they'd run away and we wouldn't be able to catch them and I'd have to show up at day care with an empty cage on Monday.

And on Sunday some family friends delivered a load of hay to mum + dad's house (for their garden) so we left a few bales on the trailer and the kids got a hay ride around the backyard.

Admittedly, the ride only lasted about a minute but they thought it was a great adventure.  I remember driving around with my Grandpa on a tractor when I was a kid and thinking it was the best thing ever... that probably only lasted about a minute too but the memory still sticks with me.
