Day 171

19th August 2022

Moss

When I left for work this morning, only Lincy was awake.

He put his arms around my neck and kissed my cheek.

The house was quiet and still, and I longed to stay in that moment.

When I got to work, they went looking for sea treasure.

The moss in this picture has grown in just the last week. We were here a few days ago and the moss was nothing like it was today.

It was beautiful!!

Farm Day

I was already at home when they walked in the door.

No Linc, again. 😞

Liam went down to work on one of the motorbikes and Mila had her computer time.

I didn’t get any info on the day until bedtime.

“How was today?” I asked.

“Well, I took two balls to the face. One by Lincoln & one by Big Foot Tom.” Mila declared.

“Oh no. Did it hurt?” I asked.

“No.” She said.

“We played hide and seek in map 1 & I came 3rd.” Lincoln said.

“I hid in about 3 meters of bush, and it was covered in thorns!” He went on.

“We played volleyball & doge ball too. Lots of ball games.” Mila said.

“Oh yeah, we played dodge ball!” Linc said excitedly.

“It stings when you get hit by the ball!” Mila pouted, her eyebrows furrowing.

“Yeh I know, it hurts! I never liked dodge ball when I was a kid.” I confessed.

“Oh, the girls & I made a butter cake with Jadie!” Mila said smiling again.

“I had two pieces of cake, because I took some from home.” Lincy smiled.

“I forgot my cake mama.” Mila said with her head hung low.

“You still had cake though.” I said.

“I only had my noodles.” She went on.

It’s the weekend!

Yay!!

We have a big weekend of sport ahead.

Netball, soccer, basketball and friends over for dinner. x
