Possums at night

Its amazing how much "kid activities" start up again once the kids go back to school. Ethan is already signed on for soccer. Swimming will be starting again soon for both kids. Anthea is on various school councils and parents and citizens boards. Tonight we had the first "meet and greet" session at the local primary school.

I arrived home this evening to find the missus in a state of angst. Alledgedly the baby, who has started rolling now, has decided that once he rolls onto his stomach and then can't move, means that he has to open his now well developed lungs and let everyone know he's stuck. He also must have begun his teething stage, as Anth also complained that for most of the day she couldn't put him down. As I type, he's still shrieking in the bedroom. This is in sharp contrast to most of the evening I spent with him.

When I got home we cooked and ate dinner, and then it was time to part ways. Anth went up to the school whilst I took the boys out for a drive. We ended up going into the city to the City Botanic Gardens. We walked around at dusk, and as night fell several possums came out to begin their nightly activities. Ethan's eyes were almost as large as the possums! All three kids were excellent, and the hour and a half we spent out was a treat.

Last night we still had the stinky filth rat active in our house. Hopefully tonight its gone, although I can still here something skulking around in the study. C'est La Vie.

Ciao for Now, Angry Dad.
