First day of school a success. Eager beavers were up easily and starting work with good cheer.

(OK, BTG beside me says she didn't feel like an eager beaver but rather a bear just woken up from its winter nap. I was impressed that she didn't behave that way!)

We are soon off to a homeschool picnic. I have made chocolate cake and icing but the cake is still too hot to ice. We have to leave in 30 minutes so it is in the fridge to cool. CTM thinks I should make this cake every year since apparently I also made it last year. We have to bring a dessert to share and picnic food for ourselves. I made egg sandwiches and scones for us.

On the way to the picnic I have to stop and pick up the key from the plumber who hopefully fixed the leaky tap for the tenants. We've had a run of bills from various plumbers....it seems to be mostly on holiday long weekends. Thank goodness this one wasn't!
