4.

hey!
finished book #3 this morning, and then started and finished #4 by the time i went out tonight.. #5 is about 10 pages in... just so you all know my current reading status.
so this morning after cleaning everything up the kids and i got ready for a long day..
first we went to camp chase (the camp they were at for the last two weeks) to see if we could find matt's hat in the lost property.. about fifty three drink bottles.. but no hat.
so then it was off to canton library to return some books, but they had a performance on, so we decided to stay. it was this older lady and man who sang and did dances to kids songs that they made up and we would sing and dance along with them... it was so much fun - i think i enjoyed it more then the kids - and then the kids all got cakes, which before being cut up, were octupuses and dragons and aliens and all sorts of awesome things.
so after a not so quick book drop off at the library, it was time for lunch, so we came home and had lunch and then were off again..
dropped off clothes at the kids consignment (the place that sells old clothes for you) and then to stop and shop, because i had about one spray of deodorant left..
so heres the thing - in australia spray deodorant is widely available, almost everyone uses it - here they dont. at all. it is a rarity. because while at stop and shop, standing in the right aisle, i was thinking 'my god, got enough roll on' so we went to walgreens drugstore (the chemist) instead - same thing, only roll on - so i asked a lady and she is like 'no sorry we don't sell it' crazzzzyyyyyyyyyyy! can you even believe it?! so i am a roll on girl now..
i also got toothepaste because the one i have, which cost $1.79, is a whitening paste with peroxide and baking soda or something and i think it is the cause for my sore gums and tip of my tongue.. they only started to hurt after usuing the toothepaste, strange.
then we went to the farmington library, just to read and play, for about two hours, got milk on the way home, then played in the sandpit until 6, when i made dinner..
i put on the dvd we got from redbox for the kids 'hoodwinked two' and read until karen got home.
then linnea picked me up and we met robyn, christina and rosa at taco bell (my first time!) for dinner. you can get like 5 tacos for $3.. it is so cheap, no wonder america eat out so much..
it was okay, wouldn't go back there again for food.
and then had a good old chat with karen when i got home, who has poison ivy all over her.. which sucks to be her right now, shes says it itches like crazy..
now i am showered and about to sleep.
i will quickly tell you though that in america you can go into school grounds whenever you want. there are no big arse fences around them, and you can use the running tracks at the high schools and the jungle gyms at little schools... unlike in australia where everything is locked up and you get fined for "trespassing"..
- for your convienience.
love you all xxxxxxxx
