Sick kids

Oh how typical, school holidays strike and what happens "sick kids". It is a really bad one going around here at the moment. Tuesday the senior class usually has 22 kids and there was only 4 in class. Jake managed to pick it up last Thursday and didn't eat for 5 days. He is better now but just lacking energy. Monday his teacher said not to send him back this term as so many have and they just haven't the energy and they get it back again. So atm Jake has gone back to Central with my mother. She came over on Wednesday to baby sit the kids while DH and I went and saw Georgie and Caroline Ever-Swindell at a function. It was a great night actually and they spoke extremely well and are so down to earth like you wouldn't believe. And I forgot my camera how disasterous was that, to be honnest I think DH hid it on me LOL.
Any way Oliver and Abby now have it and are just lying around and sleeping. Luckily they aren't as bad as Jake was, they are eating a little, but it is a worry for the little ones.
Went to Dunedin yesterday as we had to go and pick up our new fire. Even managed to get some scrapbook shopping in LOL. Just happens that the shop is not far from Mc D's so I talked DH into going there with the kids just while I popped down for a wee look LOL. Managed to look a little and buy a lot though. :) Didn't do much else while there, just groceries and the fire. Now all we need is our builder to get his a into g and get here. Sometimes I wonder if he will be here by Christmas, was meant to be about three or four weeks ago, then it was a fortnight, now we are still waiting.
Not much else happening around here at the moment, been tailing and our hoggets (one year old sheep) have just started lambing. And of course been on the farm tiding up and doing fencing agghhhhh.
Well till next time remember
