I packed what I thought were the right number of clothes. 70% of them came back clean. The clothes that all four of them wore over the 2.5 days fitted easily into one plastic bag but I think it may take three washes to have them clean again. The soap and the toothbrushes all look to be in pretty much the same condition as I sent them.
But this is why it was a dad's and kids' camping trip. My insistence on basic hygiene and nutrition would have been annoying to everyone.
While the boys were away, I:
- did 3 classes at the gym and one boxing session at home
- had dinner with a friend
- bought new clothes
- bought a new poetry book I've wanted for a while
- sat in sizzler by myself for 3.5 hours
- cleaned the house and washed all the linen
- went to church
- had my little friend Cate over to stay. We watched Dr. Who and ate popcorn, went out for breakfast, went to the movies, took the dog for a walk and baked gingerbread men.
Nice.
ReplyDeleteOur kids love their camping/bush walking trips with Dad. Peter tries to take them at least twice a year. It is only overnight at the moment because they are young, but they are all well and truely tired by the time they get home. I have also done a girls only camping trip with Joanna once, will have to wait until Naomi is a bit older before I do it again - maybe next summer.
ReplyDeleteLove it. Your husband sounds like a good bloke to me. Soap and toothbrushing while camping? Bah!
ReplyDeleteAndrew is great. He went with a few other guys from church and their kids. Easier that way.
